Sorry for the slightly delayed start, this is due to a typo I made in the answer file. Anyway, your task today is to identify these four stations, the link between them and the odd one out. Location A:  (click for a larger version) Location B:  (click for a larger version) Location C (insets are numbered from left to right):  (click for a larger version) Location D:  (click for a larger version) |

l1group gets the points for C and D, everything else is still up for grabs, which is slightly surprising as I thought that B would be easier to get than C from those versions. Location A:  (click for a larger version) Location B:  (click for a larger version) Location C: West Ham - west end of District Line platform [revupminster]  (click for a larger version) Location D: Chancery Lane - exit 1 (northwest) [Chris M]  (click for a larger version)

I don't know what A is but the link / odd one out thing could be that none of them are Tube stations except Chancery Lane which is?

Is the link that they are stations which are not where their name suggests
Surrey Quays is not currently in Surrey (though it once was)
Chancery Lane is not currently on Chancery Lane (though it once was much closer and almost opposite it)
West Ham is not near West Ham's current stadium (though it is where the club used to be when they played at the Memorial Grounds)
Willesden Junction is really in Harlesden
So could the odd one out be Willesden Junction as it has never really been in Willsden?

Willesden Junction, West Ham and Surrey Quays are all open-air stations whereas Chancery Lane is underground

That isn't relevant for this link, but it's a good idea for the future! |
