Rapture, payday for me today, so let's have four pictures and an odd one out to spot while I waste my hard earned cash on...... WAIT, while Mrs SE13 spends my hard earned cash..... Ok, so four places. One is the odd one out, we are looking to find which and why. As always, the locations are "numbered" A, B, C and D for ease.     *Click any image for a larger version* |

B looks like Cutty Sark DLR. It certainly is, that's my local station! Not sure about the other three though... |

A looks like the North London line.....Brondesbury or Kensal Rise or the like.
C.....Goodge St?

Is D Warwick Avenue?
Beginning to wonder about a boating/canal connection (Little Venice).

C could be Archway
D - Warwick Avenue I think.

Between you, you have A, B and D, so C still needs identifying, along with the odd one out........ Station A: Kensal Rise - westbound platform  Station B: Cutty Sark - Lift entrance  Station C: Station D: Warwick Avenue - northeastern entrance  *Click any image for a larger version* |

C isn't Cally Road, it's a Northern Line station

Hmm, when I saw C I did think Mother Redcap (Camden Town) - but it's been sooo long since I've got out there this is only really a random stab in the dark.
As to why which one is the odd one out I think it's Warwick Avenue - all the others have some form of interchange and it's something to do with walking distance. I'm not sure of this, but that's my random thought.

C isn't Camden Town (but it's the closest guess yet), nor is the odd one out related to walking distance interchanges

Is C Chalf Farm?
Is C the odd one out as it wasn't built on an extension of the existing railway?

Cutty Sark, as that straddles zones 2 and 3 (the others all in zone 2 alone).

Okay then I am thinking Hampstead now!
Oops that'll teach me to read the second page before wading in again!
I would never have guessed Chalk Farm even though I worked there continuously for many months on the Northern line Resignalling of the 1970s!

Cutty Sark is not the odd one out, nor do zones have anything to do with the answer.

I'm going back to my original idea of aquatics. Chalk Farm is near Camden Lock, Cutty Sark beside the river, Warwick Avenue for Little Venice: leaving Kensal Rise the "dry" odd one out.

Kensal Rise is the odd one out, but not for that reason.

Post by yerkes on Jun 27, 2008 21:33:35 GMT
Kensal Rise is the only surface station?

true, but the answer I'm looking for is less physical than that

Kensal Rise is the only one that doesn't have an escalator, or a ticket office.

Kensal Rise is the only one that doesn't have an escalator, or a ticket office. That may be the case, I don't know, but it isn't the answer we are looking for. If you were to look at the names of the locations, and perhaps have a look on a map, it might help....... |

Kensal Rise doesn't have an 'a' in the second word of the name. Hmm - that may be far-fetched.
Alternatively, Kensal Rise is the only Overground station?

Kensal Rise is the only overground station, but that's not the answer I'm looking for.
You are on the right lines with your first guess.
