Another slightly annoying thing is the name, Shepherd's Bush.

"Shepherd's Bush."
"Right. So it doesn't matter that there's already a Shepherd's Bush on
the Central Line?"
"No."
"And that there's a Shepherd's Bush on the Hammersmith & City Line?"
"No."

"Shepherd's Bush. No other names are available."


To be fair, it will interchange with the central line so calling them
both Shepherd's Bush makes sense.

The H&C one needs a rename, mind.

According to various sources, it is to be renamed "Shepherds Bush
Market" (apostrophes optional g).

Preferably along with Bethnal Green (NR), Edware Road (Bakerloo),
Caledonian Road & Barnsbury and Finchley Road & Frognal. Confusing
buggers.
