I think people are reading far too much into this 2010 map. I don't
think anything new on there like station names can be taken as a

available today.

Perhaps - but a rename of Shepherd's Bush H&C has been on the cards
for a while because it's a long way from the Central line station. The
name of the new H&C station is also up for grabs; whoever created
the map must have asked someone (or been told) about these stations...

TfL have issued a press release* today (15 Sep 2006) announcing the
start of construction work on the new H&C station. Although it doesn't
explicitly say that new station will be called White City, it implies
that by saying "the station is being built as part of the new White City
retail and leisure development", and "the construction of world-class
Tube stations at White City for the Hammersmith & City line ...".

The press release mentions White City 10 times but there is no mention
of "Wood Lane".

I'm not sure what will be "world-class" about the H&C station, but that
must surely imply escalators and lifts to platform level and a decent
covered interchange to White City Central Line.
