Putney NR to East Putney (District Line Wimbledon Branch)

Ugh! They're not very close. What journey combination would it be useful
for?

Local journeys from points west on SWT to places on the District branch
- e.g. Twickenham to Fulham Broadway? I'd probably opt for the bus from
Putney NR instead in that case, but some people prefer a Tube/train option.

Perhaps it's a journey that might be quicker on rails compared to bus
during the rush hour, I don't know.

Similarly the Putney-East Putney change could be used for a Mortlake to
Wimbledon journey, for example. Perhaps it's quicker to stay on SWT
changing at Clapham Junction, perhaps the time difference is negligable
though, and changing at Putney would avoid zone 2 so could work out
cheaper for season ticket holders (and in the future presumably cheaper
for Oyster Pre-Pay users once NR starts fully accepting it).

No it wouldn't - you'd be charged for two journeys instead of one
(unless they make it an "official" interchange, but there's no sign of
them doing that with e.g. Northwick Park and Kenton which are in a
similar situation).
