D = West Harrow (path to westbound platform).
I don't think C is Harrow-in-the-Hill but I have no alternative.
Apparently the inset in B can be found outside Barclay's Bank in Chepstow.
Is B (main) actually in London?
I'm still trying to work out what is actually depicted in A...

Just to confirm that the main image for B is an on-topic location, so it is or was formerly served by one or more of LU, LO or DLR, or it is a location that is under-construction for Crossrail.

It appears to have been overlooked to ask you to identify which is the odd one out of these four locations. Apparently the inset in B can be found outside Barclay's Bank in Chepstow. That's close enough for me, Inset: Fish sculpture in Chepstow town centre [Chris M] (click for a larger version)

Station A looks like it was taken from a S stock It could have been if taken today, but this photo was taken in March 2009 so it was taken from an older stock.

A is North Harrow. The link is station names ending in "ow". Plaistow is the odd one out as it doesn't end in "Harrow".

A is indeed North Harrow, and Plaistow is the only one of the four that ends in "w" that isn't in Harrow. Which station is the 5th in the set though?

It can't be Walthamstow or Hounslow or Heathrow. How about Bromley-by-Bow?

Bromley-by-Bow it is, concluding this question although there are many others still open. Well done all.
