Complete guesswork as usual:
Link: London Underground Stations beginning with "W"
Which does not belong with the others: A) Stratford Int - name begins with "S", and it's on the DLR.
What location should be there instead: West Finchley (reasoning: Walthamstow is the 1st W, Watford is the 6th, West Finchley the 11th, West Ruislip the 16th).

I like the Tudor Rose on the barrier in Inset D, but haven't a clue where it is.
There are some nice architectural features on the station canopy / support, but the hideous new building they've plonked under it is out of place.
Why do so many of our stations look uncared for?

Not the done thing to quote myself, except to make a correction! Complete guesswork as usual:
Link: London Underground Stations beginning with "W"
Which does not belong with the others: A) Stratford Int - name begins with "S", Woolwich Arsenal, as it's on the DLR.
What location should be there instead: West Finchley (reasoning: Walthamstow is the 1st W, Watford is the 6th, West Finchley the 11th, West Ruislip the 16th).

I thought it looked like Woolwich Arsenal, but you seemed so sure!
Anyway, I think the one that should complete (or start) the set is Wimbledon, as the only other Underground terminus beginning with W. Listed in reverse alphabetical order.
(The Overground also has two, at Watford Junction and West Croydon)

A class 333 at a terminus can only be one of two places, and 't in't Bradford so 'appen it's Ilkley.

I suspect rather than a Tudor Rose it's actually a Yorkshire Rose, as this is Ilkley railway station in 2014 [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) |
