I'll hazard a guess that D is Stratford DLR.

To start the ball rolling before I disappear for the day to York:
A: Clapham Junction?
B: Wimbledon?
C: Whitechapel?
D: Stratford?

Or is it that they're all regular destinations for trains to terminate but Stratford is the only one that is actually at the end of the running line? Others continuing to Harrow, Upminster and round the Circle...

A is definitely Clapham Jct,I'd say the stairs to Platforms 11 and 12 from the footbridge.

B is definitely Barking, looking from Platform 1 (LO) towards the rest of the station.
Barking is actually at the end of both the Hammersmith & City and London Overground Gospel Oak to Barking lines.
Edited to add- could the similarity be that all stations apart from Stratford are served by C stocks?

B - The new red signal cables suggest Met line to me. Finchley Road?

C looks like OP300 - but I think I took the picture; +1 for agreeing with prakash.

D is definitely Stratford DLR.
I think A is Wandworth Common and B looks like Upminster.

Top stuff, all the locations have been correctly identified, but not the link/odd one out. Station A: Clapham Junction - footbridge from platfom [Chris M]  Station B: Barking - view from a GOBLIN train [Chris M]  Station C: Edgware Road SSL - OP300 and GEV [MRFS42]  Station D: Stratford DLR [Chris M]  *Click any image for a larger version* |

The link could be that they're all termini, and the odd one out is Edgware Road as the others are all termini for London Overground?

Is Edgware Rd the odd one out because it does not connect with either main line or LO?

Post by Colin D on Feb 13, 2009 14:08:55 GMT
Another thought, Clapham Junction is the only one not served by LU?

I can think of a few
*Edgware Road is the only one not to have Electrostars call there
*Stratford is the only one with Light Rail
*Stratford is the only one with major bus station

All good suggestions, but none of them are correct.
It's not about trains, termini, buses or other things external to the station.

Stratford is the only one with tracks on different levels, and not all parallel to each other

Is it to do with bridges and subways? They all have more than one way of crossing the track,but Edgware road has only bridges?  |

It's not tracks (directly) or bridges or subways.
All locations have something in common, but one has something extra within the common (If that makes sense)
So damn hard when I know the answer, but trying to help slightly without giving it away!

They all have an even number of (working) platforms,but Stratford has Platform 10a as well,making it the odd one out ?

Is it something to do with the fact that they all have sidings nearby but Stratford's sidings actually form a depot?
