You got 2 out of 3 yesterday, but how will you fare today? You have four stations to locate, the link between them to find and, just for good measure, two insets as well (one of which I predict will be significantly easier than the other): Station A: (click for a larger version) Station B: (click for a larger version) Station C: (click for a larger version) Station D: (click for a larger version)

I'm probably wrong, but I'm guessing that A is Fulham Broadway?

I'm not sure the insets are included in the links.

No, the insets are usually, including this time, unrelated.

York station was resited in 1877. The old station was a terminus inside the city walls, not far from the present station. It was used as carriage sidings until the 1960s, and the station building is still there, used as offices.
