Is C the point where the Chiltern line goes over the WCML near Wembley?

Inset B is the Clyde bridge (approach to Glasgow Central). And the insets are all bridges, but I don't suppose I get a point for that!

A looks like it’s between Stoke Newington and Rectory Road C is the bridge over Stratford Station

Having looked at A a bit more closely, I've just spotted the bridge connecting Hackney Downs with Hackney Central which would make this the stretch of line between there and Dalston Kingsland.

The inset in D looks like one of the Pennine Way bridges - Perhaps over the R South Tyne at Bellingham

Still a few to find on this one, here’s what we have so far. Answer: Location A: Between Dalston Kingsland and Hackney Central - Madnam Road bridge from Dalston Lane bridge [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Inset B: Glasgow - Railway bridge over River Clyde [ howda62 ] (click for a larger version) Location C: Between North Wembley and Wembley Central - Chiltern line bridge over WCML and Watford DC [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Background C: Westfield Stratford City Bridge over Stratford Station [ Deep Level ] (click for a larger version) I’ll work on the clue versions later, unless someone else beats me to it😊

The only clue version earned is that for inset D, as as all the other locations guessed have been correctly identified. (click for a larger version) stuartroy is correct that they don't get any points for spotting they're all bridges as the link is between the main locations not the images - on this occasion, but don't forget to carefully read the question as sometimes the images are important!

Any chances of another clue for inset D - I'm fairly sure I've seen this bridge but I can't remember when or where!

There are no other images available for Inset D but I will say that's in Yorkshire

Well it still seems to me that insetD is a Pennine Way bridge so since it's in Yorkshire I would go for one of the bridges over the River Aire such as at Newfield.
I'm guessing that the bridge in image A is one of Dmitri's Eastern European ones.

Close, but it's not my home dale, it's the next dale north. I'm guessing that the bridge in image A is one of Dmitri's Eastern European ones. Correct, but which and where?

That's useful - So somewhere in Wharfedale then.
It's not Hubberholme or Kettlewell so possibly Buckden then.

Nope.
You can get there by train.

There aren't many small towns and villages in Wharfedale accessible by train and which have smallish bridges crossing the Wharfe. Bolton Abbey [or just East of it] has an old bridge crossing the A59 and would qualify I suppose.

It's in a larger settlement than Bolton Abbey.

And the train you can get is electric not steam!

I've just had an idea for the link. Is the next station on each of these stretches of line a "Central" station? A and C are next to Hackney and Wembley Central respectively and I'm now wondering if B is to the west of Hounslow Central.

Post by arun on Mar 12, 2019 22:48:52 GMT
In that case, the obvious "educated" guess would be that the bridge is the smaller of the two bridges [the most westerly] at Ilkley in Wharfedale.

xplaistow gets points for the link (They're all adjacent to a Central station) and for location B: Location B: Between Hounslow Central and Hounslow West - bridge over path from Bulstrode Avenue to Lampton Park - view from south [Chris M] (click for a larger version) arun takes the points for background D: Background D: Old Bridge, Ilkley in October 2014 [Chris M] (click for a larger version)

Well, there are 4 other 'Centrals' on the TfL network (Acton, Finchley, Hendon, Walthamstow). However, since D looks like its near to the edge of London, I'm inclined to say Finchley. Is it on the Mill Hill East branch?
