A single part question today. There is a bonus point available for working out the background, and a further bonus point for working out why the background was chosen today. *Click image for a larger version*

Hmmmm, too obvious methinks! Besides, I don't think 'Airport' has an island platform (though I am quite prepared to be wrong about this).

Foreground - South Quay DLR Background - Gibralter if the background had been tweaked

I'll guess that airport background is Toronto Island (Toronto's own City Airport), but can't account for the connection.

You have the background location correct, and also why I chose London City Airport to go with it. Now you just need the reason that I chose a Toronto background for the 14th of January.

The only connection I can make for Toronto with 14th January is that there was a big NHL game on that date, against the Philadelphia Flyers!

I stand corrected, it is weather related. Thanks to ColinD for the PM, and apologies to those misled.
