Inset A Lea Bridge? Would the inset links be national rail stations 1 stop away from a London Underground interchange? D Camden Town? Main link is stations where trains can terminate and last station before branching off except Clapham Common which is a former terminus and isn't branching off?

Main link is stations where trains can terminate and last station before branching off except Clapham Common which is a former terminus and isn't branching off? Inset A: Lea Bridge station - platform 2 [ xplaistow ] (click for a larger version) Close enough vincenture Bonus answer: Each of them is a (not TfL served) national rail station between 2 other stations with Underground interchanges (Tottenham Hale/Stratford, Blackfriars/Farringdon, Finsbury Park/Highbury & Islington and Highbury & Islington/Old Street). [ xplaistow ] Location D isn’t Camden Town and the link has nothing to do with terminals or branches.

I had the idea for this question within a question when I was thinking about non-TfL stations that are between TfL stations and realised that there are exactly 4 such stations where the interchange is with the Underground specifically on both sides. (Note that this does not include OSIs, otherwise Northolt Park would also fit.)
