[edit] Why two articles?

Do we really need two articles, one for each Shepherd's Bush station? Wouldn't it be less confusing if they could be different sections of the same article? After all, someone who doesn't know London very well isn't going to know in advance which article to they need to read to find out which station they need to know about. (If you see what I mean.) Having all the information in one place would make everything a lot simpler for them. P Ingerson 02:26, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Potentially it might be less confusing. But historically, they are two separate stations, physically, they are two separate stations, and geographically, they are separate (by several hundred metres), even if they're close together. The logic for two articles is the same logic that means there should be two articles for Venice, Italy and Venice, Florida. They might be named the same, but they are totally different places. Plus, I did provide a disambiguation page, and the two articles are crosslinked... 82.69.90.223 20:37, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] new name?

"when it will reopen as Shepherd's Bush Green" - I can't find anything to suggest this on any tfl literature, likewise the projected 2010 tube map shows this station's name as simply 'Shepherd's Green' still. This is surprising as the same map does show the name change of the other SB tube station to SB Market. Grunners (talk) 16:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I think i have heard it somewhere before but that was years ago. It seems to have evaporated. Simply south (talk) 19:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I've slightly reworded the sentence until we know either way Grunners (talk) 21:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
