Wrong platform number for Rayners. How about Eastcote?

Answer: Location A: West Silvertown - beneath station in January 2017 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location C: Eastcote - top of stairs to platform 1 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Still looking for locations B, D, link and the odd one out.

B is not Kenton, but you're not far away. The image is unmodified.

B is not Kenton, but you're not far away. The image is unmodified. Looks like it could be North Wembley. So is the link the four compass points? Meaning that D should include 'south'.

Location B: North Wembley - bottom of stairs from northbound platform to footbridge [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Compass points are part of the link. D might include south but remember there is an odd one out.

I'll go for C being the odd one out as the "East" is part of the one-word name, rather than a separate "qualifier".

I've used that (or something like that) previously, but C isn't the odd one out this time

+1 for South Acton, although it's changed a lot since last time I used it! So the odd one out is West Silvertown which is in East London, all the others in West London.

This isn't about N/S/E/W London

Is Eastcote the oddity because there aren't any other sorts of 'cote'?

Not on this occasion. Eastcote is not the odd one out.

West Silvertown is the only one with the railway and platforms above street level. Also the only one first opened in the 21st century. South Acton is the only one that used to have a London Transport (now LUL) service but doesn't now. Tricky, I'm sure we can find something to make each of them the odd one out!

This is not a history question, nor are the locations of platforms relevant. Everything you need to know to find the odd one out is already in this thread.

Post by t697 on Jun 25, 2019 19:41:30 GMT
Not favouring West Silvertown, but from the information and pictures in the thread it's the only one with no brickwork. Sure that's unlikely to be the answer but...

West Silvertown is not the odd one out and the construction of the station is not relevant.

This is a word one, you don't need to know anything about the actual locations.

This is a word one, you don't need to know anything about the actual locations. Well the original question doesn't mention any odd one out, that was only mentioned later. The original question also mentions 'four main ones' which is odd. If there is an odd one it seems to be reduced to North Wembley or South Acton. North Wembley is the only one with the second part starting with a letter alphabetically after the letter of the associated compass point and abbreviated is itself a direction. Ec, SA, WS, NW.

You picked the wrong one

Post by stuartroy on Jun 26, 2019 8:14:35 GMT
That leaves only South Acton as the odd one out, but I don't know why!

To clear up any misunderstanding; there are four locations, identify the link between them and the odd one out
a: West Silvertown - beneath station in January 2017 [Chris M] b: North Wembley - bottom of stairs from northbound platform to footbridge [Chris M] c: Eastcote - top of stairs to platform 1 [Chris M] d: South Acton - northbound platform [Chris M]
Nobody has correctly identified the full link yet, but you know it's something to do with compass points.
You also know that D is the odd one out, but you've not got quite why just yet.

Is it because South Acton has both conductor rails and OHLE whereas the others are just conductor rail fitted?

Is it South Acton has no stairs? Nope, nothing to do with stairs. It's literally about the names, nothing else.
