Hazarding a guess at Plaistow as the stations lie almost perfectly on a straight line across London, odd one out Russel Square as it's underground.

South Hampstead? Based on the fact that major may suggest that they are central London rail termini

Answer: Location A: Wandsworth Road - Platform 1 in June 2019 [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Hazarding a guess at Plaistow as the stations lie almost perfectly on a straight line across London, odd one out Russel Square as it's underground. Russell Square is the odd one out but not for that reason. |

Russell Square is one stop from a tube station serving two major Network Rail Stations rather than one.

Russell Square is one stop from a tube station serving two major Network Rail Stations rather than one. Look at what the others are and what the link is; then think forwards! |

All the other stations are one stop from a terminal on their respective lines but the nearest one for Russell Square is ages away

Odd one out: Russel Square - trains from Russel Square don't terminate at King's Cross St. Pancras

A looks like Sydenham, B looks like Covent Garden, D looks like Leyton I'm genuinely intrigued as to how D supposedly looked like Leyton?! |
