Photo C is a narrow gauge station (Tung is on the DHR) - the others are all standard gauge.

Close, but no cigar, I'm afraid.
I'm not necessarily thinking of the present day.

Nice thought, but utterly wrong on all counts, I'm afraid.

Right answer (but not necessarily yours)
Tooting Broadway, 'cos it's underground -- all the rest are above ground.

Unfortunately not - ground level is a red herring...

All the information you need is in the photographs: getting the unnamed locations will help you immensely.
There is something railway related that links three of the four locations - there are other links between two, but none of these links apply to all four.
Remember: its not Tung, but that is a hint; neither is it Tooting Broadway, nor is it standard gauge.
Another helping hand:
