As my youngest daughter has decided that I'm not allowed to sleep tonight, I'll start this one off early. Four locations to find, there is a couple of insets and link between the main pictures, also an odd one out within the link: *Click any image for a larger version*

A is Angel, and B is Lambeth North. Therefore just the link and odd one out to find now.

Is the link that all the stations are situated between two stations that have National Rail interchanges?

Thinks whilst typing:
A: Angel, between Kings Cross St Pancras (ex LNER and LMS) and Old Street. Old Street only has NR interchange because ex-GN&C transferred to NR in 1970s
B: Lambeth North between Elephant and Castle and Waterloo. Both ex-Southern Railway stations
C: Blackhorse Road between Walthamstow Central and Tottenham Hale. Both ex-LNER stations. Also has interchange with ex-LMS, now LO station.
D: Pimlico between Vauxhall and Victoria. Both ex-Southern Railway stations.
I think that the odd one out could be A or C.
A as National Railway runs on ex GN&CR/LT track, and the interchanges either side are not between the same grouping company,
or C as it is between two NR interchange stations and also has current NR(ish) interchange

One of the things you've written is correct. I'm going to make you plump for one before awarding points though!

I would have said "A" is the odd one out as originally it had City Road next to it and not Old Street?

If I've got to opt for one, then I'll go for A. I like pgb's reasoning, and agree with it.

Must be C then. Blackhorse Road also has an interchange itself with London Overground.
