Since you all seemed to enjoy the Connecting Wall I posted last Christmas, I've come up with another one. Quick summary of the rules: Now with that out of the way, here's the wall: Connecting Wall 3 by Timothy Burchell, on Flickr Merry Christmas everyone!

I'll guess Hanwell, North Greenwich, East Putney, Stamford Brook
Stations with three (non terminus) platforms.

That is not one of the groups I am looking for.

How about Barking RIVERside, Stamford BROOK, BatterSEA Power Station, CrossHARBOUR - all contain bodies of water in their name

Kentish Town West, Aldgate East, South Wimbledon and North Greenwich give the four cardinal directions.

You're both on the right lines.
Water in the names is one of the links but one of the 4 mentioned belongs in a different group.
I also need to hear a little more for the compass points group.

Cockfosters, Brixton, Battersea Power Station, Morden - Terminus stations
Kentish Town West, Aldgate East, North Greenwich, South Wimbledon - Points of the compass (also stations have had name changes or replaced other stations with the same name)
Plaistow, East Putney, South Kensington, Upminster - District Line stations
Barking Riverside, Stamford Brook, Hanwell, Crossharbour - All connected with water: River, Brook, Well and Harbour

Aldgate East, Kentish Town West, North Greenwich, South Wimbledon is indeed a correct group of 4 (as earlier guessed by burkitt) but neither name changes nor replacing other stations is the extra info I need for that group. None of the other groups you guessed are 100% correct but you are on the right lines with the links. However, termini and District Line stations are not specific enough. Remember this part of the rules: This is necessary to ensure a single "proper" solution rather than several possile (but vaguer) solutions.

Aldgate East, Kentish Town West, North Greenwich and South Wimbledon do not have stations in any other compass direction for their respective locations i.e. there is no West Greenwich, nor is there a North Wimbledon in a way there is North Acton and South Acton/ Clapham North and Clapham South etc.

That's a bit closer to the link I've got but that still isn't it.

Happy New Year everyone! I was hoping we might have wrapped this up (or be close to wrapping it up) by the start of 2024 but there's still a little bit to be sorted out. There are still 3 sets of 4 to be found in addition to getting the full form of the links. As a hint, the exact form of the compass points link is quite similar to a link I used last year.

Kentish Town West, Aldgate East, South Wimbledon and North Greenwich give the four cardinal directions and removing the direction gives another station.

Correct. That is the link I had in mind. So to recap, this is the current state of the wall with all the blanks that still have to be filled: Aldgate East | Kentish Town West | North Greenwich | South Wimbledon | Removing cardinal directions gives another station | ? ? ? | ? ? ?
| ? ? ?
| ? ? ?
| Contains watery places | ? ? ?
| ? ? ?
| ? ? ?
| ? ? ?
| (something to do with termini) | ? ? ?
| ? ? ?
| ? ? ?
| ? ? ?
| (the District Line is involved but is not the focus of the link) |
