Shepherd's Bush Central Line
 

Travelling through this station recently it looks like they've started
retiling -- but in white! Now while I agree that the dark green tiles
that were there in the station's old incarnation always made it feel quite
gloomy and oppressive, they also made it a rather unique station. I think
it'll be a shame to have lost that.

You think it'll be a shame that Shepherd's Bush won't be gloomy and
oppressive? Whose side are you on?

As a matter of interest, why were the dark green tiles chosen? I assume
there was some presumed link with "Shepherd's Bush (Green)", but it's
not intuitively obvious.

Presumably the Visigoths, them being the goths from the west.

Although they are to the east of us.

And don't get me started on goths invading Germania...
