Questions like today's with an odd one out and a 5th in the set are counted in both sets of statistics, which is why the sum of the figures for plain+OOO+5th are greater than total for all. Link questions still appear most Fridays and Tuesdays (although the latter do get bumped to Wednesday more often than Friday's move)

If you're wondering when the only Odd one out question on a Sunday was, it was 9 November 2008. The only link question involving four locations that are not current stations to appear on a Sunday was 15 October 2018

Location A: Between Shoreditch High Street and Hoxton - train on bridge over Rivington Street [ Deep Level] (click for a larger version) Now what about the rest?

I'm pretty certain D is the Enfield Town branch between Bush Hill Park and Bury Street Junction, looking south from the A10 bridge.
B I'm less certain of but I'll take a punt on Arnos Park viaduct.

This viaduct doesn't (and won't) carry the Elizabeth line

B matches the architecture of Arnos Park viaduct very closely, so I'd be willing to place a bet that it is some sort of LT viaduct built in the '30s as part of the New Works Programme. However, I've yet to find any matching viaducts that fit this. With that in find I might as well make a guess anyway - the seemingly unnamed viaduct north of Southgate?

Cancel that, literally a minute after posting I had a bit of a brainwave - how about Brent viaduct, between Brent Cross and Hendon Central?

Location C White City, Central line under Wood Lane Viaduct towards Shepherd's Bush
think 5 in set would be Arnos Grove to Bounds Green
link to do with Viaducts before tunnels and C is the odd one out S going under viaduct.

Location C - the train reflection looks like a 1992 stock. Is it close to North Acton, near the junction of the two Central Line branches?

C is on the Central line, but there is at least one station between here and North Acton junction

I'd say it's the A4000 road bridge just south of North Acton.
Is the link something to do with A roads?

C is the crossover on the East side of North Acton - 2406 points.

The stretch of railway between Hoxton and Shoreditch High Street has appeared in the quiz 5 times, March 2020 being the previous occasion.

As for fifth in the set, it would be zone increments hence the fifth is Hounslow West to Hatton Cross. There could also be a sixth: Northwood to Moor Park. This is a good odd-one-out since it is not possible to make a journey to a dual zone 4-zone 5 station.
