If certain people are right, this may be the last ever instalment of the quiz. Not subscribing to that particular philosophy myself, I've already prepared tomorrow's question. I can say for definite though that this is the last solstice of 2012 and so I've produced a link question for you - find the link between these four locations and the fifth in the set. There are some bonus points up for grabs too. Station A: (click for a larger version) Station B: (click for a larger version) Station C: (click for a larger version) Station D: (click for a larger version)

Oops, sorry about that! Starting with the stations, Progressingniceley gets the points for A, Correctly identifying Kilburn Station A: Kilburn - opposite Christchurch Ave entrance [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Nobody has attempted station B, so nobody gets any points for it yet. The image is unmodified, but here it is again for reference: (click for a larger version) Points for C go to astock5000 for identifying Wimbledon station correctly: Station C: Wimbledon - north end of platforms 3 and 4 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) For station D the points go to bigbaddom for being the first to spot this is Beckton Station D: Beckton - platform 1 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Moving on to the insets, the first points go to Deep Level for spotting my photo of Greenwich Park in the snow (click for a larger version) With no insets in B, we come to inset C. While it is a clock, it isn't the one in Northolt. This version may help you: (click for a larger version) Finally we get to inset D, and points again to Deep Level for spotting Valentines Park, taken by me when I visited to get a background for the Valentines Day quiz in 2008.

B is actually an LU station that doesn't have a direction in its name.

I said it's "not on a blue line" - encompassing all lines represented by shades of blue!

I sense a new quiz rule defining colour shades! Is the W&C a blue or a green line? Metman is in.the correct corner of the map though.

Regardless of what colour the W&C line is, B is not served by it!

Now what's the link between Kilburn, Wanstead, Wimbledon and Beckton? And which Overground station is the 5th in the set?

Brondesbury. Each station can have Park added to make another station.
