A is the "back entrance" to London Bridge, opposite Borough Market. I should have recognised it for myself, having used it regulary at one time, but the phone number on the shop front was too much of a google-temptation.

The inset in B is the interior of Alresford signal box on the Mid-Hants.

I'm guessing the link is they are all Thames river crossings
A London Bridge
B Blakfriars(Bridge)
C Blackwall(Tunnel)
D Westminster(Bridge)
Odd one out could be Blackwall being a tunnel whilst the others are bridges or London Bridge could be the odd one out as its the only one to describe the type of crossing in the station name

Im going to go along the lines of there all on the JLE with the exception of B which is clearly somewhere else on the network not associated with the JLE

Location A: Heathrow Terminals 123 - centre of platform opposite escalators from ticket hall [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Now I'm not an expert here but I don't think that is Heathrow T1,2,3, I don't remember that station having 'London Bridge' all over the front  . |

OK What's left?
We've eliminated Vauxhall, Westminster, Waterloo and Southwark as possible answers. Plus Blackfriars and London went on the answers to B and A respectively.
That only leaves Lambeth, Hungerford, and the Millennium, and the only one of those that shares its name with a tube station is Lambeth (North). Can't see that winning any awards!
Have I missed something?

If Lambeth North is permitted, isn't Tower Hill by the same token?
And what about Hammersmith and Cannon Street (railway) bridges?

Post by stuartroy on Mar 26, 2014 14:34:43 GMT
It was stated to be close to Waterloo, and closer than Vauxhall is to Waterloo. Cannon Street would fit, and is one crossing missing from my list.

I suggest you reread the thread for a clue!

Southwark fits the award date (now revealed) but someone has already said Southwark.

Is the remaining inset the River Medway?

It is a plaque in the ticket hall at Southwark - rincew1nd presumably didn't spot that post. |

Mystery solved then! And kudos also for the composite image B. It really does look as if the signal frame is somehow behind glass between the pillars. Well done

Apologies, I saw the post with images in and mistook that for Chris's answers so didn't look at the posts above when I looked to see if anyone had said Southwark.
