I think B is on the Uxbridge branch - I can't think of anywhere else where the DMI would say "Metropolitan Line".
Due to the fact that there's no Piccadilly trains, I'll guess West Harrow. (If it is West Harrow, is the link the first station of a line branch?)

Would West Harrow be the odd one out for being the first station after a junction both directions?

Location D: Neasden - way out from platform 4 [Chris M]
the clue version is unmodified.
So what is the link and which is the odd one out?

Link: these stations are all one stop after a junction We've already got the link. The odd one out is probably Neasden - either because the junction in question involves national rail and not a TfL service, or because Metropolitan Line trains don't stop at Neasden. |

Whoops, I missed that when scrolling back through the thread.
Neasden is the odd one out, but it's not quite for either of those reasons.

Surely it's the odd one out because unlike the others it's not one stop after a junction? Instead it's the stop before a station where two (separate) lines diverge.
