I've just realised that I dind't include the bonus question in the answer file - identify the background to image B and why it was chosen for today's question.

B looks like Tower Gateway DLR. you can see railings on the platform edge, but I can’t tell if it’s from the front of the train or behind the buffers.
B’s background is the Chinese flag. I’ll hazard a guess that it was chosen because of the news out of China about term limits for the presidency revoked.
My first instinct for C is Arnos Grove

Answer: Location A: Shepherd's Bush Overground - south of southbound platform from south end of northbound [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location B: Tower Gateway - from behind buffers [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location D: Wood Lane - north end of eastbound [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Clue: Location C: (click for a larger version) Jerome H is correct with the background for B, Chinese flag, but not the reason it was chosen for today.

Location C: Heathrow Terminal 5 - Picc train in mirror at E end of depature platform 6 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Still to find: the link, the odd one out and the reason why the Chinese flag was chosen for this question.

All of these stations seem newish ( having said that they probably opened last decade). Is Tower Gateway the odd one out because it was recently refurbed instead of being brand new?

Tower Gateway is is odd one out, and you're most of the way there with the link but not precise enough.

Tower Gateway is is odd one out, and you're most of the way there with the link but not precise enough. All four stations were under construction in 2008, however Tower Gateway was only under renovation and reopened in 2009. The rest opened in 2008.

Spot on with the link, now why was the Chinese flag chosen? If 2008 has anything to with it, I’d guess something about Beijing hosting the olympics that year
