Odd one out is Ealing Common, as has not been owned by a former Railway Company Hammersmith Met - Great Western Railway, Loughton - Great Eastern Railway, Richmond - London & South Western Railway

I can't help but be interested by that picture of Richmond. There are Class 313s in both platforms 5 & 7 along with the 378 in platform 4 even though platform 3 (which is exclusively LO due to the lack of a 4th rail) appears to be empty. I wonder if there was a problem on the NLL? Either way, it can't have been good for the District line to only have one platform available to use.

Location D: Hammersmith (H&C) - Detail of single window at platform 1 [ caravelle] (click for a larger version) Odd one out is Ealing Common, as has not been owned by a former Railway Company Hammersmith Met - Great Western Railway, Loughton - Great Eastern Railway, Richmond - London & South Western Railway True, but not what we're looking for today. Ealing Common is not the odd one out. Inset B - Switzerland - Basel Station SBB - Mountain Murals above Main Entrance to main Ticket Hall. Inset B: Basel SBB station, Switzerland [ londonstuff] (click for a larger version) Inset A - Looks South London ish, Between Peckham Rye & Denmark Hill? It is South London but it isn't there. Does this version help? (click for a larger version) I can't help but be interested by that picture of Richmond.

I took the photo on 6 August 2009 if anybody has detail going back that far and wants to look - at this distance I have no memory at all of any issues there might or might not have been.

All are served by the District line except Loughton? I'm not sure that Hammersmith (H&C) is served by the District Line...! Could Loughton be the odd one out though as it is the only one not served by more than 1 TfL service? Richmond - District Line + LO Ealing Common - District + Piccadilly Lines Hammersmith (H&C) - Hammersmith + Circle Lines

Loughton is the odd one out, but not because of the number of lines that serve the station

They are all interchanges/shown with blobs on the Tube map other than Loughton?

True but coincidental. Vincenture is the closest so far.

Is it that Loughton was served by surface stock trains when opened and no longer is, as served by Tube Stock trains now, but all other stations are still served by surface stock trains.
