Is it true that neither Shepheds Bush nor White City Central Line
stations are wheelchair-accessible? How did Westfield get away with
that?

It is true. Neither is a new station, in spite of
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/projectsandschemes/10134.aspx
saying otherwise for Shepherd's Bush.

I find it more interesting that Wood Lane (wla/wln) has public toilets
from which service was withdrawn. At first the notices on the doors were
covered, while a RADAR key could give access. AFAIR, there is now a
regular LU lock and customers definitely get no service.

A few stations have individual ticket halls without ticket offices or
with permanently closed ticket offices. Wla is unusual in being built
with no ticket office; the only other similarly-deficient station I
recall is Regent's ParK. I assume a ticket office was scrapped in the
recent refurbishment.

Regents Park certainly had a ticket window when I last used it in the
1970s. The internal feel of the station had a toned down Leslie Green
feel to it. But, I am pretty sure it was not one of his. I always
thought Great Portland Street and Regents Park stations being so close
but disconnected to be a trifle odd. It is all down to history and
geography of course
