Still a bit running from yesterday (and June 30th). Today a single part question, but a bonus point for working out why these locations were chosen today.  *Click image for a larger version* |

Harrow on the Hill +1 Barking (I see the 378 stopping marker, but I also see C stock on the monitors? Could be 72 stock which would mean somewhere on the Bakerloo beyond Queens Park, no idea where though  ) |

Harrow on the Hill +3
.I'm not sure what Overground station that is, but it definitely isn't Barking, (378s can't run to Barking, as the line isn't electrified), and the train on the monitors is an A stock, and is part of the other photo.

I think the Overground station is on the 'New Line' to Watford (note there are both S and 3 car stop markers, and it has that look - my first thought was Harrow & Wealdstone (pfm 1), but I don't know. But would fit for a single reason - but what's the link between Harrow and 4th July ?

Harrow & Wealdstone platform 2 looking south for the overground and Harrow on the Hill platform 4 looking north.

No idea about the stations but could the reason for choosing them be something to do with American Independence Day?

Not sure if that's the case or not, but it isn't the answer we are looking for.

This isn't related to July the 4th particularly, but a yearly event that fell on July the 4th this year.

Wealdstone Festival or St. Luke's Summer Fete?

Not in this instance.
If you can remember what happened that day, it might be a bit of a clue....

Maud and Lillian Watson, champion and runner up in the first ladies' final, were born in Harrow.
Thank you, Wikipedia.
