I think the DL interchange with Windrush is at shadow not Wapping.
Fascinating statistics though!

The first table excludes both the Elizabeth Line and Thameslink; are they the poor relations despite the popularity of the Farringdon interchange?

Is there an inter-overground interchange table?
At Walthamstow Central the Weaver line is only 300m from Walthamstow Queens Road on the Suffragette line.

I still find it confusing that many line diagrams are displayed the ‘wrong way round’ and not the way the train is oriented. I know they’d need mirror image versions of each map to go on opposite sides of the carriage, but didn’t they used to do this once upon a time?
And don’t get me started on the Circle Line diagrams displayed in District Line carriages (and vice versa) to the puzzlement of many.

Future overanalysing: (per maps on wikipedia)
West London Orbital (planned to be an overground) adds 3 underground interchanges and 3 overground interchanges, one Thameslink, one Elizabeth.
Bakerloo extension: adds 1 in latest proposals (previous proposals could have added 2).

Neither Manor House <-> Harringay Green Lanes nor Caledonian Road <-> Caledonian Road & Barnsbury are valid interchanges, so the Piccadilly has zero interchanges with the Overground, even though 2 are shown on the line diagrams (and sort of on the maps, but 'interchange' is not what that line officially means).

What is this 'Cablecar'? I know only Dangleway.
The Victoria Line definitely used to have directional line diagrams, but I think didn't made it onto the 09 stock.
Some lines wouldn't be able to have them as the units change direction - the Central, Piccadilly and the Northern as part of regular operation, and possibly some others as part of occasional stock moves.

The District used to have them but as the new trains are shared it's no longer possible thanks to the Circle.

They've added "Airport" to the word "Stansted" on the Victoria Line diagram. Presumably the little picture of an aeroplane was deemed insufficient?

My memory is that in the 1990s the Bakerloo, Jubilee, Victoria and Waterloo & City lines had mirror image line maps but any line with branches didn't, even if the trains were never turned round (which was an obvious problem for doing this on the Northern Line). And the Metropolitan's and East London's were displayed crossways to align with all the seating.

Manor House to Harringay - I'm with Si on this 'interchange'. Leaving aside the technical definition of the word, last time I did this I got a bus between the two.

If the Weaver had been split into two routes (Enfield/Cheshunt and Chingford), which would have made sense for all the same reasons given for splitting the Overwound out in the first place, then that'd be another one for the Victoria line!

The eventual answer to line diagram orientation will be to digitise them. Not yet affordable, but as display prices keep dropping, this may come sooner than you might think.

I suspected the line diagram orientation problem must be something to do with reversing trains, and the multiple displays due to interoperating sets. This obviously also explains why we have yellow grab handles on the District Line rather than green ones, not that colour coded handles are still a thing.
Digital line displays would be good, with a little blob to show where the train is!

Not even the Waterloo & City has directional line diagrams.
There is no line diagram orientation 'problem'. Nobody is trying to do it.

The white space between the Elizabeth line and a tube line is unnecessary. Likewise the white space between two Overground lines. I think earlier line maps didn’t make such distinction between the Elizabeth line and Overground blocks.

Can't help but think the Weaver should've been split into two lines when all the signage had to be changed anyway for the naming of the lines! The new Overground map shows Cambridge Heath and London Fields only being served by one of the branches so there is already a tacit admission that it might have perhaps been more useful to do a proper split.

There are also the many missing connections such as a further Victoria-Windrush interchange at Brixton, or perhaps Central-Windrush-Weaver at Shoreditch High Street.

You say that Thameslink only interchanges with overground lines at West Hampstead and Norwood Junction. It also interchanges at Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye too
