B - Barons Court +2
D - Custom House Crossrail (Ex NLL).
Is the link something to do with how the stations are 2 stations away from where one of the lines that stop there join up with other branches?
Custom House - DLR 2 stops from Canning Town where it meets with Stratford International & Woolwich Arsenal Branches.
Barons Court - District Line 2 stops from Earls Court where it meets with Olympia, Edgware Road and Wimbledon Branches.
If my link is correct then I'm going to guess (using clues from the photos):
A - Perivale?
C - South Acton?

Phew, no insets today. Station ANothing so far, this may help:  (click for a larger version) Station BI'm sure those of us who were at the "Farewell to the Circle Line Christmas Meet" will remember than canopy well when it appeared as the first part of the 'Forum Meet Bonus Quiz'. It is indeed "Barons Court - eastbound platforms" [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Station CIf my link is correct then I'm going to guess (using clues from the photos): C - South Acton? A lucky guess, as Station C is indeed "South Acton - south end of footbridge from street" [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Station DD - Custom House Crossrail (Ex NLL). Correct again, Custom House - westbound NLL shelter in May 2009 [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) D: Wow, a NSE bin! Retro! I think that deserves [shadow=orange,left,300]Special Mention.[/shadow] Love it! There's more than one if you look closely! The LinkLink to do with royal titles or something like that? Is the link something to do with how the stations are 2 stations away from where one of the lines that stop there join up with other branches? The link is nothing to do with Royal Titles or Branches, though one of you is heading in the right direction. The Odd One OutNo guesses yet. And FinallyThe Eagle-eyes amongst you will notice that recently most of the quiz pictures have been those from the lens of Chris M. Please do have a rummage around on your computers and send him any banal or interesting pictures you may have lurking. Please click here for more information. |

The station names play no part in this link.

it does work, although I don't know which the OOO will be, but this is coincidental!

Former interchanges, with Baron's Court being the odd one out?
