About 5 minutes ago I finally finished the much-heralded link question. It would have been sooner but at about 6pm I realised that I needed to take another photo for the background. Your task today is severalfold: 1. Identify the four stations 2. find the link between them. 3. Work out which of them is the odd one out and why. 4. Identify the 6 insets (the ones in image C are numbered from left to right) 5. Find the link between the insets 6. Work out which of them is the odd one out and why. 7. For extra bonus points, identify which background image was taken less than 24 hours ago. (Question 7 is open to quiz staff too as I've just thought of awarding points for it and didn't put anything about it in the answer files) Your images today are: 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) |

A - West Croydon?
Inset A - Surrey Quays?
B - Hatton Cross?
Inset B - Olympic Badminton at ExCel London?
Inset C 2 - Barking Abbey Ruins?
D - Cockfosters?
Can't think of any links and odd ones out on this occasion.

Only now have I discovered that Wembley Arena was used as an Olympic Venue, previously I had no idea. Turns out it was used for Badminton which I previously thought was held at ExCel London and Rhythmic Gymnastics (Artistic Gymnastics held at The O2). |

Well, let's see how you've done today, starting with the main locations: Yep, well done- Station A: West Croydon - window in bridge en route from the southbound platform to the ticket hall [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Another point to Deep Level - Station B: Hatton Cross - southern entrance [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) C= Dagenham East brickwork looks like LT&SR The points for C go to revupminster, despite getting the wrong brickie - Station C: Dagenham East - doors on eb platform [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) And yet another point for Deep Level, who it seems isn't bad at non-DLR locations either - Station D: Cockfosters - station garden [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) So, 4/4 for the stations, how did you do with the insets? Inset A : Woolwich Arsenal Pier looking towards the royal artillery museum That's close enough. Inset A: Assembly by Peter Burke - Woolwich Arsenal [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Deep Level identified the event as Olympic Badminton but progressingnicely gets the points for identifying the venue - Inset B: Wembley Arena - Olympic Badminton at London 2012 [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Inset C1 : Marble Hill House And a third point for progressingnicely, - Inset C1: Marble Hill House [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Inset C 2 - Barking Abbey Ruins? Using some local knowledge perhaps, Deep Level gets another point - Inset C2: Barking Abbey [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Nobody attempted to identify C3, perhaps this version will help:  (click for a larger version) Another correct answer - Inset: Eltham Palace - bridge over moat [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) All the stations and 5/6 insets is pretty good going. But nobody attempted the link between the main photos and which of them is the odd one out, nor the link between the insets and the odd one out of those. Particularly disappointing was no attempts to identify which inset I took a special trip to to photograph yesterday. |

is the inset link to do with water ?
Assembley and Marble Hill House are by the Thames
Wembley Arena used to be a swimming pool
Eltham Palace has a moat
Barking Abbey is by the River Roding
Gallions Reach is by the royal docks
Odd one out is wembley as it no longer linked to a body of water?

Hard to say with certainty,but for C3,isn't there such a stand of trees outside the Tate Modern?

I'm going to go with the Woolwich Arsenal picture as the recent one, as in the "toilet" thread Chris revealed that he was at Canning Town on the day in question.

The insert link given is not the answer we have on the cards, I'm afraid.
For my own attempt, I'm going to guess at Eltham Palace being the recent photograph.

To clarify, the links between the stations and the links between the insets are different but similar.
C3 is outside Gallions Reach station.
Eltham Palace is the recent photograph - toilet hunting in Canning Town was Monday night, Eltham Palace was late afternoon/early evening Tuesday.

And yet another point for Deep Level, who it seems isn't bad at non-DLR locations either As previously said I have a photographic memory and am quite good at recognising places in photos, it's just recently you haven't been using locations I've visited despite me having visited at least 60% of Greater London ;D. |
