B - Between Blackwall and East India D - Canary Wharf
Educated Guesses: A - Millwall Park looking towards Island Gardens? C - Between Pudding Mill Lane and Bow Church? (Less sure about this one, perhaps this is the odd one out?)
Link bring that they're between DLR stations (except maybe C)?

Inset B is the Eastern approach to Harold Washington Library – State/Van Buren station on the Chicago 'L'.
Is the link as simple as elevated sections of the DLR with C as the odd one out because it also happens to be an elevated portion of the Great Eastern mainline?

That's not the reason I'm looking for - it's more of a history question than a geography one

Is A the odd one out? All the others are 'new' build, while A uses part of the original railway?

I'll try again.
Is it that A,C and D are on the original DLR network, whereas B is on an extension?
