I'll go with Metman for B and C.
A - Archway (a real stab in the dark!!)
D - Hammersmith H&C depot.
"Pass" on the link.

A - Why am I looking at this thinking that I'm sure I know it? :/ In the top right would appear to be one of the Tower Blocks on Poplar High Street being that I worked near there recently so this leaves me to think that it's the DLR within the Poplar/ Blackwall area (is that specific enough?)?
C - Waterloo Depot +1

C = Waterloo Depot
D = Hammersmith Depot?
Link - They are all depots!

Well we got there in the end! Answer: Location A: Poplar Depot - view from Popar station [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Location B: Ealing Common Depot - view from a westbound Piccadilly line train [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Location C: Waterloo Depot - view from arrivals platform [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Location D: Hammersmith depot - south gable from north end of platform 3 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) They are all depots, but which one of the four depots is the odd one out? |

Can I have two guesses?  ...is it Waterloo, as that depot is underground? |

Well, there is the lift which makes part of Waterloo not underground. So whilst it may be correct, its not the answer on the card.

Poplar is the odd one out, its not a terminus.

Neither is Ealing Common, so that's not the right answer.

Poplar is DLR, the others are London Underground.

That's true, but not the reason I'm looking for.

Waterloo, because it is also used to reverse trains in everyday service. The others are used purely for stabling.

Again that's true, but the reason I'm looking for is a physical characteristic shared by Waterloo and two of the others.

Well, there is the lift which makes part of Waterloo not underground. . there hasn't been a lift there for nearly twenty years (and it wasn't actually in the depot anyway, but at the end of a short spur at the other end of the station) What there is now is a big hole covered by a hinged lid.

Ealng Common because it has access from two ends - the others have access from one end only.

I was going to say that Waterloo is single-ended, but if the previous post means that Waterloo is not the odd one out, it must be something else.
(Edit - or maybe not, as looking at the arials I see that hammersmith and Poplar are single ended too)

You understand me correctly when you reference the current depot access from the surface. Have a bonus point. |
