First off the mark with the locations except B via PM À - Aldgate East station B - Northwick Park Station C - Royal Oak Station D - Traction Controller of Met Loco 12 Sarah Siddons E - Kilburn Station Answer: Location A: Aldgate East - ceiling from western ticket hall level [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location C: Royal Oak - platform canopy [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location D: Sarah Siddons - inside the loco with view of the camshaft controller [ caravelle ] (click for a larger version) Location E: Kilburn - clock on eastbound platform [ xplaistow ] (click for a larger version) Clue location B: (click for a larger version) Odd one out is C Royal Oak as Sarah Siddons has not operated through station on Railtours. Royal Oak isn’t the odd one out.

How about Aldgate East as the odd one out, not being originally Met Railway. Presumably the loco is too obvious as the odd one out!

Location B: Preston Road - labyrinth and roundel on platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version) How about Aldgate East as the odd one out, not being originally Met Railway. Presumably the loco is too obvious as the odd one out! You're on the right lines with the Met and history but neither Aldgate East nor Sarah Siddons are the odd one out

Royal Oak could be the odd one out, as it was a GWR station, while the other three were on lines fully or partly owned by the Met.

I guess by process of elimination that the odd one out is Preston Road but I'm not quite sure why.

Preston Road is the odd one out but why?

Post by t697 on Nov 9, 2023 4:57:41 GMT
Hmm, of these stations, Preston Road is the only one first opened in the 20th century. All the others are 19th century originally. Also Preston Road opened as a Halt with the impressively long name Preston Road Halt for Uxendon and Kenton.

It's the only one not in Zone 2?

Preston Road was the only one rushed into service as a halt for the Olympic Games?

OK, so they were all built for the Met Railway or the Met and another railway but Preston Road is the only one now in Met line use.
