Interesting article about Underground station designs, including a map identifying which stations are of which design ...

Stratford should be shown as New Works for the Central Line platforms.

Read the actual document here, especially page 216. The Central Line platforms show none of the design characteristics of the New Works programme. Just because that's when the Central Line came to Stratford doesn't mean that's the design style. 3A is arguably related to JLE idiom, but 3 and 5 are not, and don't match any other idiom being repeatedly redeveloped as the station has involved and matching the design style of the rest of the station. They're not even of Great Eastern style.

Southfields and Wimbledon Park are LSWR designs rather than the District. And East Putney was renovated in a sort of post-modern style by BR a couple of years before that section of the line was taken over by TfL.

I assume the category 'Network Railway' refers to stations under the control of Network Rail/ national train companies, rather than to their design. If you were going to describe the design of Wimbledon and Richmond stations you would have to say 1930s Southern Railway Art Deco.
