Photo C is a narrow gauge station (Tung is on the DHR) - the others are all standard gauge.

Close, but no cigar, I'm afraid.

I'm not necessarily thinking of the present day.

OK - to turn it on its head - photo A because it's the only one in the UK..................

Nice thought, but utterly wrong on all counts, I'm afraid.

:hello2: Right answer (but not necessarily yours)

Tooting Broadway, 'cos it's underground -- all the rest are above ground. :roll:

Unfortunately not - ground level is a red herring...

I like....

Warmer, but not in the way you might think; shame it's wrong.

All the information you need is in the photographs: getting the unnamed locations will help you immensely.

There is something railway related that links three of the four locations - there are other links between two, but none of these links apply to all four.

Remember: its not Tung, but that is a hint; neither is it Tooting Broadway, nor is it standard gauge.

Another helping hand:
