Default Forest Gate/Wanstead Park interchange?

It's just been pointed out to me on Wikipedia that the National Rail
Timetable (page 46) lists Forest Gate - Wanstead Park as a "useful
transfer":

It's also reportedly in the Online Journey Planner. But this is the first
I've heard of this and to my knowledge none of the brand new Overground line
maps and signs are mentioning it - is this a valid interchange on a through
ticket or not?


It's just dawned on me that if a ticket allows a route like
Walthamstow-Barking-Stratford-Romford that passes through both
stations, then interchange must be allowed because there's nothing
forbidding you skipping part of the journey (even Break of Journey
rules don't apply when it's for interchange). So you can change trains
wherever you bloody like.
