Four locations to identify today, along with a link between them, plus as a bonus, what would be the fifth location in the set. As always, these are "numbered" A, B, C and D.     *With the exception of "C" all images have a larger version by clicking on them* |

+1 I agree!
The link? Were all stations built or modified in about 1924?

Between you all, you have the locations, but not the links, nor the fifth location in the sequence. Answers: Station A: Neasden - Jubilee and Metropolitan Line trains viewed from 1938 stock train. [Chris M] Station B: Edgware - station entrance [Chris M]  Station C: Hammersmith H&C - wall of platform. [MRFS] Station D: Southfields - eastbound track [Chris M] *Click any image for a larger version, except "C" which nas no larger version* So now the answers are there, can you spot the link, and what the next one would have been...? |

Something to do with being served by mainline trains methinks.

Nope, its not related to trains at all. The comment about about the 38 stock was just when I happened to take that particular picture.

It's more related to the locations......

Initial and last letters are identical in each case. So next would be Eastcote or Seven Sisters (maybe Eastcote as all the others are one-word names).

Well done, the link is that the first and last letters are the same. The only other station with a one-word name where this is true is Eastcote.

[Chris M] I'm missing something here or could just be being thick. Photo A is given as Neasden, but yet is taken at Willesden Green. So how does the answer become Neasden? Unless of course Neasden has developed a centre reversing siding in the last week? Any ideas? |

Ah!! One a bit over my head there..... I'll have to leave that for Chris to answer, though my initial thought was Neasden when I saw Wembley Stadium.

I labelled the photo here as Neasden, as that's what I named it when sorting through my photos after taking them (whenever the 1938 stock tour was). It is quite possible that I got it wrong (it certainly wouldn't be the first time) - I can't tell from looking at online air photos and I'm on the wrong computer to check my other photos I took to see if they make it clear.

It's definitely not Neasden I'm afraid, you can see the next station down which is Dollis Hill. It is looking towards Neasden though. Not to worry
