I'm going (at this stage) to go for Compass Points in the name as a link. Might C be Southgate?

Link maybe to do with number of stations with same place name with 5 names:
ie North Ealing, also South Ealing, Ealing Common, Ealing Broadway, West Ealing.
Same with West Hampstead LU, West Hampstead LO, South Hampstead, Hampstead Heath, and Hampstead.
Others could be Ruislip's , Clapham's and Harrow's which also have 5 Stations each.

Is it just me or is the thumbnail for the C clue the right way up and the zoomed in version the wrong way up?
That’s confused me tonight!

cso I think I've fixed it. The thumbnails are automatically generated from the full size image so should be identical, but JPEGs can have metadata about the rotation and some viewers adjust the display based on that and some don't. I strip the metadata from the thumbnails (to reduce the filesize slightly) so I guess that the metadata for the full-size image didn't get updated properly when I rotated the image the right way up (most landscape images that Deep Level sends me have the rotation metadata set to 180 degrees for some reason).

It's my Samsung Galaxy S10+, my S8+ also did the same for reason :/.
Every time I email a photo from my phone it automatically rotates in the Email I assume for the reason mentioned above so I always have to add a little apology to the Email. They work fine if they're uploaded to something like Instagram or OneDrive, the latter of which I use to transfer to my computer so no issues there as well as if I use the USB cable to view them. Vertical photos only rotate 90.
I've never been able to get to the bottom of why that is despite Googling on multiple occasions, perhaps something to do with a setting as I always tend to put everything up to it's highest setting.

Going to say Harrow On the Hill for Location C, is it linked to stations in Zone 2, 3, 4 & 5.

C isn't Harrow-on-the-Hill or in Zone 5. The link isn't related to zones at all.
