For the 4th, four locations to identify, plus a link between them all. Usual thing here, the locations are labelled A, B, C and D for ease. You can work as a team, or go alone, it's entirely up to you. Location A:  Location B:  Location C:  Location D:  *Click any picture for a larger version* |

Correction to my reply:
C = Bank (DLR).
That'll teach me not to do it before I've had a cup of coffee.

C - Sure it's not Island Gardens... Just I can see something like posession markers just into the tunnel... Which would tie in with the shuttle services maybe?
Is the link something to do with being close to the river?

I think:-
A is def Westminster on the District/Circle Eastbound
B is Blackfriars as I think Cannon Street is more of a yellow colour
C I'm not sure, but is somewhere on the DLR
D I think is Tower Hill rather than Mansion House.
Link - C odd one out as the otehrs are all on the District/Circle Line (although, i doubt it it as easy as that)!

Today's bonus is about finding the link, not an odd-one-out.

Ok I am bad, maybe I should have put my glasses on before reading the screen in future!
Hmm in that case a link........... racking brains here, they all have piers for the River boat nearby or named by the station, i.e. Greenwich Pier, Tower Pier, Blackfriars Pier and lastly Westminster Pier.

A: Westminster B: Cannon St C: Bank (DLR) D: Tower Hill I agree. That "next train" indicator" is definitely not Mansion House. |

A: Westminster B: Cannon St C: Bank (DLR) D: Tower Hill I agree. That "next train" indicator" is definitely not Mansion House. I'm 99.9% sure that C is Cutty Sark - it's my local station! It's not Bank because there's no incline going into the headshunt, nor is there a bend as sharp as that, and the tunnels rise after leaving the station in the direction of Shadwell, unlike in the picture. I don't think it's Island Gardens either, as the tracks don't curve so much at that end of the bored tunnel section, this happens at Cutty Sark. If it was looking south from the northbound platform at Cutty Sark then you'd be able to see the RGI on the far wall; ergo, it must be the southbound platform, looking north. |

Between you all, everywhere has been identified. A quick mention to pgb who, once again, was in quickly with all four locations on PM. Nobody has yet spotted the link, however the correct answers may help: Station A: Westminster from an eastbound train Station B: Blackfriars - east end of westbound  Station C: Cutty Sark - north end of southbound  Station D: Tower Hill - west end of westbound through platform  *Click any image for a larger version* |

Hmm... I did spot that one, but it didn't seem quite right, certainly not the answer I had, although on the right lines, hense me not crediting it.
Sorry, and well done to those who did get it.
