Good idea but it's not what I was thinking of. Friday is significant, not Thursday or Saturday.

Frizinghall?? Probably "crazy town", but -- Friday; a "zing" of frost in the air, and / or "it's frizing (= freezing)"; many centuries ago, someone who with his followers was settling new land, would in the doing of same, build a hall... :s

I'm sorry, I think I've given you wrong info. It should now be SATURDAY morning although as the answer is in Northern land I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

Denton?

Dent is on the S&C and is high up i.e. frost, ‘settle here’ meaning ‘on’? In addition to the parly service of course!

DanTRain you found it. It's the parly service PLUS the fact that Denton is the fictitious home of Jack Frost the detective in the series A Touch Of Frost.

Apologies for the misleading clue, I hadn't realised that the sparse service has moved to Saturday and disgracefully I couldn't find a TOC or rail industry site to tell me so, I only found this on the Friends Of Denton Station website. Try booking a ticket from there!

Probably because the rolling Saturday strikes for Northern mean that the station hasn't had a service since August.

I though of Jack Frost but didn't know anything about it! Still, the Dent thing kind of works :)

It's not Barbican, I'm afraid. It is a station on the national rail network, which should narrow it down a bit... :-P

I thought for a moment, Goathland ("Goth" with an added letter) + "land" (crossing between bodies of water?) -- but I always have trouble remembering re Goathland and Grosmont: which is solely on the NYMR, and which is the junction NYMR / national network? Goathland is the former, of course: so much for my clever theory :frown: .

It's not Goathland, Grosmont or Grindleford. It doesn't begin with "G".

Another clue? Think 80s barbarian with an Austrian accent. He may be back...
