Don't think it is Definitely not Gallions Reach, certainly no "school" sign nearby. Though you had me worried for a bit that I didn't recognise a station I've used a lot in the last few months All I do know is that it is a DLR station of some sort EDIT: I go for East India as number C

Is C Prince Regent? It has the right sort of glass, and there's a school nearby, although I think it's an old-ish picture.

Yes, C is Prince Regent. The photo was taken in January 2013. (click for a larger version) Nobody even attempted the other images so you don't get those clues for a while yet.

How about, oooh I dunno, Totteridge & Whetstone for B, just cause of the bricks and the green and white.

I'd been thinking about Northwood Hills... hmmph Is A Charing Cross? It looks like it's deserted, which would fit.

Location A: Warren Street - Victoria Line circulating area [Chris M] (click for a larger version) so, what links Warren Street, Totteridge & Whetstone, Prince Regent and Northwood Hills?

One thing that comes vaguely to mind is this:
The Victoria Line was opened in stages, with the extension from Highbury & Islington to Warren Street being the second stage, Totteridge & Whetstone was opened on the High Barnet branch, which branched off of the pre-existing EH&LR line, according to wiki. Prince Regent was built on the Beckton branch - an extension - and as for Northwood Hills, it was opened later than the stations either side of it. Is it anything to do with extensions or additions to pre-existing lines?

It's nothing to do with names or dates. Extensions and additions are not unrelated, but it's not a history question.

No, that'd fall in the category of history questions.
