Slight error in the answer file, and thus question. These are 1-4 in a set and we're looking for the 5th. Entirely my fault, sorry.

Not your best showing here - just 1 out of 4 pictures and neither of the link or 5th in the set. The only points awarded go to Melikepie: Lets see if you do any better with these versions: Station A:  (click for a larger version) Station B:  (click for a larger version) Station C:  (click for a larger version) Station D: West Ruislip - fixed red lights [londonstuff]  |

As a complete guess I'll say B is Watford and C is Watford Junction as termini stations beginning with W. And the 5th would be Woolwich Arsenal, although Waterloo may need to fit in there somewhere.

As an aside, Vauxhall has three escalators, Walthamstow has a fixed staircase in the middle.
Is the link that each of the terminals were originally intended to be intermediate stations?
The Victoria line was at one point planned to end at Walthamstow Wood Lane, the Central line in Denham, the Northern line at Sutton.
Charing Cross could be in this set too.
