Something really should be done asap about Shepherds Bush. How confusing is
it to have two completely unconnected stations with exactly the same name.


I'm sure the denizens of Shepherds Bush are used to it. The original
Shepherds Bush station on what is now the H&C was moved much further
north to its present position in 1914. Then there was the Shepherds Bush
station on the LSWR loop line, on the south side of the green and now
long gone. The Central line Shepherd's Bush is on the north side, of
course, and almost next to it was the West London Line station for
Shepherds Bush (helpfully called Uxbridge Road, although it will be
called Shepherds Bush in its re-incarnated form). And that's not to
mention Goldhawk Road, which is very handy for the market, despite the
fact that it will be Shepherds Bush (H&C) that is to be re-named
Shepherds Bush Market. Then there are the various comings and goings of
the nearby Wood Lane / White City stations ... and nobody knows there
the flaming bush is, anyway!
