Is D Stratford international on the high speed line?

Inset in C is one of those big cities they have 'down south', like London or Peckham.

I'm going to guess that A inset top is Ropley station, Mid Hants Railway and that inset A bottom is Colyton on the Seaton Tramway.

Inset C is London Bridge and Tower Bridge, viewed from the Cannon Street rail Bridge.

D main looks DLR to me. Possibly Crossharbour? Agree about the background being Stratford International.

I love what you've done with D. The main location in it is Crossharbour.
EDIT: Since I was just beaten to it, I suppose I could have another guess. A looks like it could be Acton Central.

OK, let's try Tower Bridge from Millennium Bridge for C1.

The inset in B looks like a statue of Mother Theresa. Given the flags in the background, could it be outside the UN building in New York?

B is a statue of Mother Theresa, but not in the United States.  (click for a larger version) elsombernie while Tower Bridge is in the background, that's not the bridge we are interested in here. |

Inset C1 is taken from the Millennium Footbridge I assume, Southwark Bridge is the next bridge on the river and you can see Cannon St Station Building on the left hand side.

The statue of Mother Theresa is in Albanis in a city variously called Scutari or Shkodra

The architecture of C is making me think of Oakwood.

elsombernie while Tower Bridge is in the background, that's not the bridge we are interested in here. Doh! In which case, Southwark Bridge from Millennium Bridge +1. |

The architecture of C is making me think of Oakwood. Or Northfields? Did that get platform edge barriers to the part the trains don't stop at? |

Background B: Shkodër, Albania - Mother Teresa Statue in September 2012 [ Dmitri ] wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=42.066929&lon=19.514017&z=19&m=b (click for a larger version) Location C: Northfields - eastbound platform in January 2017 [Chris M]  (click for a larger version) Inset C1: Southwark Bridge [ humbug ] (click for a larger version) I think that just leaves inset C2 |

Names are relevant to the link, but not in that way. Acton Central is not the odd one out. Inset C2 is not in Tokyo, but it's not the worst guess Inset C2:  (click for a larger version) |
