Given this new station on the H&C seems to be literally a stones

An alternative view is that White City should be revert to its old
name given that the stadium is long gone.

The area is called White City, and the area inside Australia Rd is
called the White City Estate.

Wood Lane, on the other hand, is the name of roads in Highgate,
Stanmore and Kingsbury: Also, the southern end of Wood La W12 will
have Shepherds Bush as its nearest station, so Wood Lane is a bad
name for the new station. However, I suspect the fire brigade don't
want the new station to be called White City.

I only said it was an alternative view! Given the name of the nearby late
lamented station it was an odd decision to go for "Wood Lane". Why would
the Fire Brigade object to the White City name, though?

I only said why I didn't agree with that alternative view.

They don't like two stations having the same name.

How do they cope with Hammersmith, Shadwell or Canary Wharf then?

The same way that you cope with Planet Earth, despite not liking anything in
it.

You mean, somewhere on the internet there's a forum where firemen slag
off Hammersmith for having two stations?

Isn't it interesting how because I get hacked off with being ripped
off on PAYG by LUL with its guilty until proved innocent approach to
customers and 3rd world service and happen to complain about it on
it , I must be some sort of misanthrope.

Why not answer the question instead of making cheap potshots.

No, it's because whatever TPTB do, you complain about them doing it, and
whatever they don't do, you complain about them not doing it. I have noticed
no consistency logical or financial in your multitude of stances, except
that whatever happens, or whatever doesn't happen, you criticise.

I did answer your question, but I answered it in a way which I found fun.
After all, I don't come here to serve you, I come here to have fun.

You might have a better chance of convincing me you're not talking out
your arse if you could provide some examples.

I would suggest you update your dictionary since it obviously has a
strange definition of answer.
