Answer: Location A: Between Canning Town and East India - beneath Bow Creek viaduct in November 2016 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location B: Canning Town - DLR from Jubilee line in August 2009 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location C: Between Canning Town and Royal Victoria - under road bridge in July 2009 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location D: Royal Victoria - siding viewed from Silvertown Way bridge in October 2013 [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Is the link that the Beckton to Poplar section of the DLR opened 30 years ago today? That’s actually the bonus answer so we’re still looking for the link and the missing location.

Is the link that they all opened on 30th March 1994 with the Poplar to Beckton section of the DLR, and the westernmost location would be Blackwall?

The bonus answer relates to the date, the link doesn't. I've just spotted the "westernmost" in the question. That's there in error (leftover from a previous question) and while it's not inacurracte for this question it is misleading. A fairer question would be "the location that is next in the set"

Is it that they're all new stations on the link between the old railways at Poplar and the Royal Docks, and the next location would be Blackwall?

They aren't all stations, so no.

These locations are just going along the Beckton extension from west to east so the 5th in the set is between Custom House and Royal Victoria.
