Today, there are four locations to identify, and also there is an odd one out, which also needs finding and the reason why. As always, you may need to work as a team with this one, however that isn't to say you can't go alone! For ease, the pictures are "numbered" A, B, C and D.     *Click any image for a larger version* |

B = Marylebone and C = Great Portland Street?

I'll guess that B is Covent Garden and I agree that C is Gloucester Road.

I'm fairly sure A is Warren Street and D is Hampstead.
If I'm correct that would make C the odd one out as all the others have had their names changed from the original - A was Euston Road, B was Great Central and D was Heath Street.

I would have said B was Marylebone (Great Central wall frieze) and C is most definately Gloucester Rd (view from WB District).
No idea about the other two.

Hmm. Gloucester Road was also renamed - it was originally Brompton (Gloucester Road), being renamed to just Gloucester Road in 1907; Great Central also opened in 1907; the Eustons also opened in 1907; Hampstead also opened in 1907.
How about they all opened in 1907 with the exception of Gloucester Road which opened in 1869 but was renamed in 1907 to match with the opening of the Picc. downstairs?

I thought that Hampstead was going to be Heath Street and was renamed just before opening, but they didn't change the tiles. C is Gloucester Road, I have no idea about the others. |

If B is Gillespie Road then that would be another variant on the possible odd one out - all the others had deep level platforms that opened in 1907, whereas Gillespie Road opened in 1906.
No, that's not quite right - the dates change according to which book I look at.
I'll refine the suggestion to say they've all been renamed, but C is the only SSL that has been renamed to match a deep level station.

a) Notting Hill Gate
b) Regents Park
c) Gloucester Rd
d) London Bridge.
c) is the odd one out because the other three are all deep-level stations with wrong-way running in place for at least one of their platforms.

Trains can reverse from the Eastbound at Gloucester Road (towards High St Ken)  I would also question your 'deep level' theory, given that the Picc serves this station too..... |

Between you all, the locations are correct, and the link is almost correct. Station A: Warren Street - above intermediate level passage Station B: Arsenal - closeup of Gillespie Road tiling Station C: Gloucester Road - westbound District Line platform  Station D: Hampstead - northbound tailwall  *Click any image for a larger version* All pictures taken by ChrisM So, the link and odd one out. There was an answer well along the right lines...... |
