I recently went on a Shepherd's Bush (LO) to Snaresbrook (LU) journey
via Willesden Junction and the NLL via Stratford. At Shepherd's Bush
I caught the Clapham Jn - Willesden Jn train so had to alight at the
latter and wait for the Richmond - Stratford service. Unfortunately,
there are no pink validators on either of the two "High Level"
platforms and you have to go down a flight of steps to the middle
level ( by the exit gates and ticket office ) to find the closest one.
The one saving grace is that if you have to go to the east end of the
NLL and you do catch the Clapham - Willesden train you should have
enough time to get the the pink validator and return to you platform
before the next scheduled Richmond - Stratford service !!!!!!! Not
sure what you would do if you were on a Clapham - Stratford service
though.

The alternative fare for Shepherds Bush (LO) to Snaresbrook only requires
you to use the interchange reader at Stratford, according to TfL's website
'single fares finder'. So in the case of your journey it looks like the you
didn't actually have to do anything at Willesden Junction...
