South Quay is the odd one out, and that would be a good reason for South Quay to be the odd one out, but it isn't anything to do with the lines or extensions. It's about the stations.

As a general clue, you need to think on a very big scale for this one.

South Quay is the only one equipped with lifts?

Nope, nothing to do with elevation. It isn't anything physical about the stations.

Epping is the only one with uncovered platforms? Or only one with a bridge over the tracks?
