Hmmm...quite a few of the dates on that "unusual map" are questionable, if not plain wrong.

e.g. Blackhorse Road (new station built in early 1980s, replacing one on the opposite side of the road), Surrey Quays (street building 1980s), Stonebridge Park (not 100% but I think the present building is 1990s, rather than 21st C), Kentish Town West (not really a product of rationalisation as such - as the station closed completely following a fire in the 70s, and opened anew in the 80s. Mind you its architectural features beyond the ticket hall in the arches are limited to spiky fences on the platforms)...
I highly recommend the understated Indian restaurant on the corner of Holly Grove - amazing parathas and many an enjoyable team lunch had there.
On the other hand, those "heritage audits" are excellent - and also a great demonstration of one aspect of what a proper public commitment to a high quality transport system should be about (and standing in great contrast tto the decades of decay and decline that most of those stations experienced pre-LOROL)
I wouldn't say Peckham's Rye Lane is free of buses on Sundays. They may be a little less frequent than during the week, but there are still plenty of them. The only time Rye Lane is free of buses is when the road is being dug up.

The plans to reclaim Peckham Rye station forecourt by demolishing the arcade which hides it look as though they are going ahead. The Mayor confirmed funding for the scheme earlier this year.
WooHoo, at last! I make lots of trips from Canada Water to various places around Putney and Richmond so I've waited a long time for this line to open! Shame the line speeds are not very challenging and won't really beat Jubilee / Waterloo, but should be a lot less hassle at least!
Don't know if you're planning to ride the LO extension on Sunday or if you've had enough the subject - either way you might also want to factor in the first S7 Stock on the Hammersmith & City Line to run east of Moorgate in service: HMS 0706/BKG 0807, BKG 0815/HMS 0914, HMS 0925/BKG 1027, BKG 1035/HMS 1134, HMS 1146/BKG 1247, BKG 1255/HMS 1354 (then to depot).
