A - Rear Entrance to Clapham Junction? (Not sure actual name of entrance but I know what I mean ). Don't worry, I know which one you mean as well! I believe it is known as the "Brighton Yard" entrance.

I see what Deep Level means. Clapham Junction +1
I know that entrance well. The entry/exit gates are frequently changed, so you never quite know which gates to aim for.
Is C one of the stations passed by fast or semi-fast Metropolitain line trains?

2 of 4 plus at least 2 of 3 insets: For A you have the location and two of the insets for definite: Location A: Clapham Junction - Brighton Yard entrance [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Inset A1: Arriva Trains Wales 175107 between Shrophsire Union Canal overbridge and Canal Street underbridge, Chester [Chris M] Inset A2: Somerset Levels south of Compton Bishop viewed from Wavering Down [Chris M] The third inset, the object matches but the location doesn't match the file description given to me, but as I don't know either location I'll give it to you and let someone more knowledgeable fill in the details Inset A3: Marker for No. 11 Flight Group Operations Room, RAF Musuem, Hendon [ caravelle] (click for larger versions) No problems with B: Location B: Heathrow Terminal 4 - ticket hall ceiling [Chris M] (click for a larger version) C isn't Moor Park, this version may help you: (click for a larger version) D isn't Heathrow. There isn't another version I can give (as all I've done is obscure the station name), but here is the picture again for ease of reference:\\ (click for a larger version) No attempts at the link or odd one out, so obviously no points there!

D = St Pauls? C = Stamford Brook?
Is the connection that the London Underground/Overground line platforms all face the same direction (ie south)?
Is Heathrow T4 the odd one out as it has only one London Underground/Overground line platform while the others have 2 which you can catch a regular service from?

D = St Pauls? C = Stamford Brook? Yes and yes Location C: Stamford Brook - view from a westbound train [Anonymous] (click for a larger version) Location D: St Paul's - reflection of roundel in window of "Pod" restaurant, Cheapside [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Is the connection that the London Underground/Overground line platforms all face the same direction (ie south)? Yes spot on, although I expressed it as trains opening the doors on the north side. Is Heathrow T4 the odd one out as it has only one London Underground/Overground line platform while the others have 2 which you can catch a regular service from? Nope, Heathrow is not the odd one out.

How about St Pauls being the odd one out as its platforms are underground and on different levels?

I will go with Clapham Junction as it is the only junction station

Nope, it's neither St. Paul's nor Clapham Junction that is the odd one out!

So it has to be Stamford Brook - but is it because - it's the only one with an unused platform face? - the only one with a through line with no platform face at all? - the only one on the District Line? - or the only one which has nothing unique about it (as the others have all been identified as having a unique feature!)

It was most likely a labelling error from my part. Apologies are in order.
