D looks like DLR to me, possibly the sidings by All Saints as part of the Poplar depot?

C - Wembley Park, view from north end of platform 4/5 including one of the most notoriously expensive Fixed Red Light (FRL) installations ever, prominent in the right foreground. Wembley Park sidings also visible making the link with others about stations with sidings of the same name.

Location C: Wembley Park Sidings from Wembley Park [ MoreToJack] (click for a larger version) You're most of the way there with the link, but there is a bit more too it. Also remember there is an odd one and out and a location that should be there instead of it

Wembley Park sidings is now de-commissioned, which might be a factor. That saga was another waste of money dwarfing the FRL! Then again Westbourne Park station has no direct rail connection to the Crossrail sidings.

How about Gidea Park then? I'm working on the basis of the picture having been taken from a Class 315.

Answer: Location D: Gidea Park sidings - view from eastbound train [Chris M] The above image has not been modified.

If sidings is the link, is Rickmansworth the odd one out because it doesn't have "Park" in its name ? so 5th is Stonebridge Park ?

Link: These locations are all sidings named for Park stations except Rickmansworth South Sidings The only sidings I can find called "Stonebridge Park Sidings" are NR's, LU seems to exclusively refer to "Stonebridge Park Depot" so this is not the answer I'm looking for.

Queens Park? Not designated a depot and like Rickmansworth there are sidings north and south of the station. In sheds though. And the north ones are more westerly...

5th in the set: Queen's Park Sidings The RMT (the most prominent users' of the term) were not specific about north or south, but both are clearly more westerly than the only other contender at Newbury Park.
