Location A Denmark Hill Location F York Road/Way Both correct. The versions above of a canopy pillar at Denmark Hill and the south side of York Road are unmodified. |

That's why the link was chosen for the 5th (Inspired by Colin D's guess for the 4th July quiz), but not what links these stations. |

I was going to say that they all have disused sections (so guessing D is Highgate) but that doesn't apply to Elephant

Indeed, it isn't about disused sections and D isn't Highgate.

There is no "and" (or "&") in the name of D, sorry.

For those trying to find the link, try writing down what you know so far.

Aha! The link is that the first letters of each answer spell out the word 'DISNEY', but I'm still none the wiser about the missing locations (1=D and 4=N).

Link: These stations initial letters spell out "Disney" [Inspired by Colin D's guess at www.districtdavesforum.co.uk/thread/22291/july-quiz-day-fourth]Location D: Newbury Park - hut adjacent to Hainault-bound platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Slugabed has already identified the D location as Denmark Hill (see page 1 of this thread) so that concludes this question  |
