I'm just gonna go with instinct, and say Arsenal (Gillespie Road), Russell Square, Tufnell Park and Chalk Farm. Odd one out is that Arsenal has no lifts............
EDIT, Just read again and see there's a link between them all! Errrr............ ;D

I think The Major has them all. Is the connection that they were all stations originally designed by Leslie Green with the odd one out being Arsenal as it no longer has the red tiles on the station entrance facade?

There are also points for working out why I chose this question for today. Judging by the letters, is it anything to do with MRFS's birthday being today?

I'm just gonna go with instinct, and say Arsenal (Gillespie Road), Russell Square, Tufnell Park and Chalk Farm. Spot on the money. The unmodified versions of the pictures can be posted when the smaller versions have uploaded. The bonus answer was that it's MRFS' birthday. You still need the link between the stations, and the odd one out.

None of the images are modified, so no unmodified versions exist.

That explains it. So to summarise: Station A: Arsenal - "S" in "Gillespie Road" tiling on eastbound platform [Chris M] Station B: Russel Square - "R" in station name tiling on eastbound platform [Chris M] Station C: Tufnell Park - "F" in station name tiling on southbound platform [Chris M] Station D: Chalk Farm - "M" in station name tiling on northbound platform [Chris M] *Click any image for a larger version*

All stations have never been renamed, except Arsenal, which was originally called Gillespie Road (obviously)

Is it that Arsenal stations exterior is completely different from that of Tufnell park, Chalk Farm and Russell Square which makes it the odd one out?
Or that they have the same number of platforms however Russell Square is in Zone 1 with the others being in 2 thus making Russell Square the odd one out?

Neither of those are what I have on my answer sheet. The biggest clue is picture/location A....

Arsenal is the odd one out, but it's not for that reason. chrisvandenkieboom's answer has been the closest so far.

Arsenal is the only station to be named directly after a football club?

Is it Arsenal because its the only station near a 60,000 seater Library While this is also true, it's still not the answer we are looking for. (By the way, is it cold in the shadow?)

That's close enough for me. These stations all have have the station name on the platform tiling except Arsenal, which has the former station name
