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

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.

What is the new H&C station ( at Wood Lane) going to be called?

The new names for the two H&C stations were confirmed in a TfL press release
back in November 2006.

"London Underground (LU) today announced that the new station currently
under construction on the Hammersmith & City line at the White City
development will be known as Wood Lane when it opens in 2008[1].
"The existing Shepherd's Bush (Hammersmith & City) station will be renamed
Shepherd's Bush Market at the same time."
