Maybe they should proceed by stealth, and ask for notices bythe platform

'Shepherds Bush Market' in due course...

That's not much use for tourists - you wouldn't know what station to
head to for Brick Lane until you were already there...

Besides, they say in the BBC article (URL below) that it's the
advertising on the Tube map that they want.

A thought occurs - if they really want the station to have the same
name as their street, why don't they take the initiative and change
the name of the street to Aldgate East Lane?
