Four pictures today. Your task is to find the link between them and the fifth in the set. There are some bonus marks up for grabs too. Station A: (click for a larger version) Station B: (click for a larger version) Station C: (click for a larger version) Station D: (click for a larger version) The insets in B are numbered from left to right.

Right, for B the colour seems to match up with Turnpike Lane, but the tiling is a bit neat and new looking so I'm going for B- Wood Green

Sorry, but changed my mind to Manor House for B (remembered Wood Green has broken rather than solid lines and noticed the thin cut line of tiles in the middle)

Im sure D is Turnpike Lane, unless there is another station with a chained off manhole cover..
A is Angel B is Manor House C is somewhere on the Central Line, erm Gants Hill? D is Turnpike Lane as mentioned above
In terms 5th in set, might need a clue

Both correct. I photographed D, while my housemate Jade took C (I've never been to New York).

Reckon C is 'Turnpark Lane' and the link is a bus route. Fifth could be...Oakwood?

Whilst I know we have the answer, so it doesn't really matter. I can't actually see the inset (which we now know to be The Statue of Liberty) in the original photo three....

It's there in both main and clue versions, albeit not very large. Look on the right hand side of the image, about 1/3rd of the way from the bottom.

Station C: Bounds Green - top of escalators [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Is the link they are all in column 6 on the Tube Map? That's just coincidental, but it is geographical.

They are all in North London, and it is as a result of that that they are linked in the way they are. The fifth in the set is on the Picc, but that's coincidental to the link.

All in different North London boroughs?

I don't know if they are or aren't. Boroughs the answer here though.

I've got no idea about what N postcodes are where! Postcodes are a good idea for a future link though!

Nope, nothing to do with waterways of any elevation.
