Do you have examples?

Putney and East Putney.

As someone brought up in Putney I wonder why on earth anyone would
want to interchange between Putney and East Putney

That's not the point. I am thinking of people on longer journeys for
whom a change at Putney would connect two otherwise unconnectable
routes and make the overall journey much easier.

Which "otherwise unconnectable routes", though?

Barnes to Parsons Green for example. There are lots of journeys from SWT
stations to District Line stations where this interchange is the
quickest
route.

And you have seen the origin and destination surveys showing the demand
for such journeys? I suspect that existing bus services would be quite
adequate to meet the demand.
