What time + the future tense

Please evaluate each of the three items below depending on whether it is natural or not? Besides, what would a native speaker say in a situation like this?

(a) What time are you leaving home for the station?
(b) What time are you going to leave home for the station?
(c) What time will you leave home for the station?

All are natural. 'Home' can be omitted if it is clear from the prior context. You can also say 'when' instead of 'what time'.

I'd say (a), but I'd probably assume "home" and omit it.

What time are you leaving for the station?
