Since there are three huge roads called Edgware Road in London, and
none of them is actually in Edgware, having even one station called
Edgware Road is intolerable!

So you'd advocate renaming Oxford Street, York Way/Road and Liverpool
Street as well, would you?

Oxford Street station was renamed a long time ago, and I do believe it
should be renamed again to St Giles. I am not aware of a station called York
Way, and renaming York Rd station would not pass a cost benefit analysis
these days.

As for Liverpool St, yes, it should be renamed, particularly since a number
of stations which have trains to London Liverpool St also have trains to
Liverpool Lime St.

Huh? ;-)

there should only be one
station with each name: Edgware Road, Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith
are candidates for this rationalisation.

I agree where the Shepherds Bushes are concerned because they are in quite
different places. I see no benefit in giving the Edgware Roads separate
names - I think they should both have the same name but a different one to
the one they have now. Hammersmith is fine - it's not the best interchange
on the map, but it isn't the worst either, and giving the stations different
names would only con people into avoiding interchanging there, thus wasting
their time and perhaps money.



Following the examples of towns in Kent, the Hammersmith stations
should be renamed Hammersmith East and Hammersmith West. And the
Shepherds Bush stations should be renamed Shepherds Bush North and
Shepherds Bush South (take your pick which is which).
