Shepherd's Bush Market will make a positive change. Renaming all three
would be even better. But the best option in my opinion, but probably
impossible from an engineering prospect, would be to keep all of them as
Shepherd's Bush and link them all via underground escalator walkways a like
Monument/Bank and Kings X/St P.


Its not so much the engineering as the fact that very few passengers are
likely to use such an interchange.

Other confusing ones include Hammersmith - two separate stations opposite
one another. But at least the two exits are close to one another, but
having Hammersmith North and Hammersmith South (or wherever they're facing)
would be simpler.


North Hammersmith is miles away (the area around Hammersmith Hospital,
well north of Shepherds Bush) so this would be potentially very
confusing.

Or better still, somehow link the two together and have
them down as two different exits from the same interchange.


A physical link, such as an underground passageway, would have been
possible during the many occasions when Hammersmith Broadway has been
rebuilt over the years. I suspect that it never happened because the
number of passengers requiring such an interchange is very small indeed.
