One of the reasons for building is to interchange with the Central Line
station next door, so giving them the same name makes a lot of sense. The
H&C station is being renamed Shepherd's Bush Market in the next year or
two.

Is it going to be a true interchange, or an outerchange? Will there be a
behind-the-gateline route from WLL to Central platforms?


No, its an outerchange. We discussed this a while ago [on uk.t.l], cos there
is an escape stair shaft on the WLL side of the bus station [the site
immediately next to the new station], but it appears normal interchange will
be via a pedestrian crossing at the junction with the main road.

I guess an underground paid side interchange to the WLL station would have
been difficult to engineer, in view of the footbridge access to the eastmost
platform?

Presumably though, access to the actual shopping development may be via
either side of the bus station?
