a) Ruislip
b) North Ealing
c) Charing Cross (Northern Line, nee Strand)
d) Chiswick Park
c) Is the odd one out, as the District Line neither does not serve, nor has served, there.

a. West finchley
b. North Ealing
c. Tott Ct Road
If we're assuming d is Chiswick Park, the TCR is the only one not adjacent to a station with 'park' in its name...

Is B really North Ealing? The station building yells 'mid-1800s GER!!!' and suggests to me Theydon Bois or Debden.

Between you all, the locations have been worked out, but not the odd one out. Station A: Ruislip footbridge [Chris M]  Station B: Debden - station house and ticket office [Chris M]  Station C: Borough - southbound platform [Chris M]  Station D: West Brompton - tower of lift shaft to Overground [Chris M]  *Click any picture for a larger version* So, just the odd one out to find, and the reason why........ |

West Brompton - the others are one-word names.

West Brompton - the others are one-word names. That's true enough, but not the answer we are looking for. I don't think Chris ever makes them quite that easy! |

Debden - Step free is only out of London, whereas the others are only in to London? (ignoring both LO platforms at West Brompton are step-free)
Or Ruislip as the others are Northbound only, and Ruislips South (East) bound only...

Debden - Step free is only out of London, whereas the others are only in to London? (ignoring both LO platforms at West Brompton are step-free) Spot on. The information was taken from the latest version of the access map on TfL's website when I prepared the question in the latter half of June. That map pre-dated London Overground's takeover of Silverlink. |

There seems to be a lot of out of datedness... IIRC the back of it has 'until June 2006' on one of the entries... how many access improvements have been completed since that map  |

The tiling on the platform side at Borough is interesting; it looks like overhead storage bins on a 747 or other wide-body jet.
