I'm guessing that the link is Pa..., Pe..., Pi..., Po... and Pu...
Which makes C Poplar, and the missing station Perivale.
Perhaps.

Oh completely, which is why I asked if anyone knew what happened - as opposed to what should have happened. I guess there are two options: •It got put in a postbox near 55 Broadway •It got put in a bin But which was it? Third possibility: *Either of the above, depending on which particular staff were on mail duty, how busy they were, which side of the bed they got up that morning, etc.

The Bakerloo line station was due to reopen on the 14th (but actually reopened a fortnight early)?

inset 5 could well be the cliff railway at Bridgenorth Arun Bournemouth - West Cliff, I think.

I just read that before coming here. I wonder if they properly accounted for interchange timing. It can vary extremely widely and sometimes makes a longer journey on one mode a better bet, even if the actual segment times add up to less on two or more modes. I've never seen any tables of estimated average interchange times, and given that they did not use any actual passenger data, I'm dubious as to whether it was considered - at least with any accuracy. Indeed it is pretty clear from Dr Barthelemy's reported remarks that his team's study deliberately chose great simplifications to make it practicable. The spurious precision of the "13mph" optimum is almost cetainly an journalistic artefact - "Giving exact numbers is a tricky thing" is a polite way of saying "do not publish these numbers because they are meaningless", but the writer clearly ignored the warning. What the study shows is that, as many have known for a long time, in complex systems optimising each part separately can have bad effects on the whole system. It would be good if it caused planners to consider these things more carefully, but I don't hold out very much hope of this. Alan

I'm guessing that the link is these are all stations starting with "C" on the new Overground/TfL Rail lines. That makes A Chadwell Heath, the odd one out Clapton because it doesn't start "Ch", and the fifth in the set Cambridge Heath.

No idea, but I am delighted to see in D that someone has taken the trouble to pencil in the missing apostrophe. I note that Mr. Red Pen crossed it out and put a new one in after the "s", but Mr. Black Pen has restored it to the correct place!

No other versions for the insets before there are guesses! OK, inset 2 "must" be London City Airport ('cos it looks like an airport and you are always showing London City!)

A glance at Streetview suggests that the "gantry" is much less substantial than it appears in this photograph. It is just a framework for supporting the plants in the flower beds outside the station building.

Inset D: Hmm, must be able to do something with that sign ? ? (scrabbles aroung in Google a bit).. Here it is: Chapel of the Holy Martyr Vasilisk, Kamani in Abkhazia, Georgia. Can't imagine why nobody spotted it instantly...

I agree with that.... I'd say its the view from a bus on Swinton Street looking north towards Kings Cross Agree, though I think it is one road south - from Acton Street looking at the Swinton Street bridge.

I'm amazed no-one has bagged inset C2 - just read what it says on the tin (well, on the clue photo - the original inset is too small).
"The House of the Government of the Russian Federation", also known as the Russian White House, in Moscow.
