Friday, so a tricky one for you today. A reminder that the quizzes from the 7th, 11th and 12th June are all still running and looking for correct answers. Four locations to find here, and for ease, they are "numbered" A, B, C and D. Once the locations have been worked out, there is an odd one out to find, and the reason for it. You may need to work as a team, however there is no reason why an individual can't go it alone.     *Click any image for a larger version* |

B looks like somewhere on the DLR. I'll guess Heron Quays.

A = Farringdon (pretty sure)
B = Heron Quays (I think)
C = Belsize Park (definitely)
D = no idea!

A is definately Farringdon.
Think C might be Holland Park, Queensway or one of those sort of places.
Stumped on the others.

A 100% Farringdon!
B DLR stage one! Herons Quays works for me!
C Belsize Park -maybe
D Wanstead Park?
The link? Hmmm, not a clue!

Im going to guess that the link is that they have been re-built in some way as its the only thing I can think of connecting heron Quays to anything else!

Locations A, B and C have been identified, but not D, nor has the link question. To recap, here are the pictures again, with the correct answers thus far: Station A: Farringdon - West end of eastbound SSR [Chris M]  Station B: Heron Quays - photographed from outside Canary Wharf Jubilee [Chris M]  Station C: Belsize Park - looking out the station exit [Chris M]  Station D:  |

Farringdon was of course unmistakeable with the signal operators extra accommodation block perched above the IMR. It was added just prior to the transfer of Aldgate area signalling to Farringdon Cabin circa 1987.

I'll guess at Harringay Green Lanes for D. Which is correct. The four unmodified pictures again, and we are still looking for the link, or rather the link and the odd one out. All pictures are taken by Chris M. A] Farringdon - West end of eastbound SSR B] Heron Quays - photographed from outside Canary Wharf Jubilee C] Belsize Park - looking out the station exit D] Harringay Green Lanes - stairs and ramp to the westbound |

Just a reminder that you still haven't identified the odd one out, and why its different to the other three.

To help you along, the link here is related to interchanges.

I'm guessing that Harringay Green Lanes is the odd one out as all the others have interchange facility of some description. Farringdon for Thameslink; Heron Quays for the JLE Canary Wharf and Belsize Park for Hampstead Heath.

Your on the right lines, but you've picked the wrong odd one out.

Belsize park as it is the only one to interchange with the Underground.

Heron Quays is the odd one out, and you're very close with the reason but not quite there.

All the others are Tube - NR interchanges; Heron Quays is the only one Tube - DLR?

Heron Quays is closer to Canary Wharf tube station than the 'official' change of Canary Wharf to Canary Wharf DLR?
