Inset D looks like another Tram Station. I think its The Forest park and ride stop in Nottingham

D Inset is most definitely a Tram Stop, I'm just only familiar with Tramlink.

OK, here we go then gang: Points for Station A go to linecontroller66Northwood Hills - view north [Chris M] (click for a larger version) neutron takes the points for Station B as this is Ruislip - northbound/westbound platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version) With the Inset being Heaton Park Metrolink station, Manchester [Rincew1nd - had just been for a picnic] (click for a larger version) Points to progressingnicely for that one. Station C appears to have you flummoxed, the image is not modified in any way though so I don't have anything to give by way of a clue. Causton was the first to spot Station DHeathrow Terminals 123 - down escalators [Chris M] (click for a larger version) and progressingnicely takes the last of the set with Inset DThe Forest tram stop, Nottingham [Chris M] (click for a larger version) So, still to get is Station C, the link between the stations chosen, and which one of these four is the odd one out.

Station C: Theydon Bois - gate on eastbound platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version)

I will say Theydon Bois as it is the only one unstaffed? I'm probably wrong but it is always best to eliminate the obvious first.

The link is not to do with staffing, and also C is not the odd one out.

They are all in Zone 6 (have some points), but there is a little something else too.

Both very valid, but not matching what's on the card. 123 is also the odd one out, but not for that reason on this occasion.

It's more historical than lavatorial.

Nope, I'm afraid it's not to do with toilet facilities.

123 is the odd one out because it has a centre platform, but the others have a 1/2

Still not quite there... you need to think historically on the reasoning, although you're getting closer.

The opening dates are not relevant here, but do think about the station when it opened.
