Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

Can we take it that it's "open floor"? I have a fresh one to offer, if so.

Indeed. My apologies for not saying

 

[Calthrop]

Thanks.

Suggesting maybe Amman or Aqaba: not nearly so far away, but still separated from us by sea

 

[backontrack]

Ammanford?

 

[Calthrop]

Not Ammanford. Please note the last seven words.

 

[neilmc]

Jordanhill?

 

[Calthrop]

"Close, but no cigar". Wrong land-mass.

 

[DanTrain]

New Holland?

 

[backontrack]

Jordanstown?

 

[Calthrop]

New Holland?

Afraid not.

Jordanstown?

Correct -- your floor.

 

[backontrack]

Afraid not.




Correct -- your floor.

Thanks I believe that Northern Irish station are technically not allowed, but it's still a great clue - unlike the below...

I went over the sea and I sprained a limb! What did you injure?

Thanks for the praise ! The above issue was discussed on page 144, and consensus seems strongly to be that since Northern Ireland is part of the UK, stations there are admissible (Irish Republic ones, not). We've had a good many clues, with N.I. stations as the answer.

I went over the sea and I sprained a limb! What did you injure?

At present, not the faintest idea; will go on pondering...

It's well deserved. Thanks for the clarification.

Crossmyloof?

 

[backontrack]

Crossmyloof?

I'm afraid not.

Hint: Think about the clue literally

 

[Calthrop]

Desperation -- and mispronunciation -- department: Holyhead? (if one can count the Menai Strait and Beddmanarch Bay, as "the sea") -- I got a hole in my head??

It is incorrect, but slightly closer (if not geographically). Think about going 'over the sea' - where might one do that?

 

[Calthrop]

Now, Skye doesn't have -- and never has had -- public railways (though there were proposals for such there, long ago) -- I'm struggling here...

You're so close that you can practically taste the battered haddock...

 

[Calthrop]

Oh dear Lord ! -- as a Scotsman would say, "Ma laig" -- Mallaig.

 

[backontrack]

Excellent work.

"I went over the sea and I sprained a limb! What did you injure? Mallaig!"

The floor is yours.

 

[Calthrop]

Not altogether sure that I deserve it -- you've had to do so much spoon-feeding -- but, anyway:

Modest place of worship, sound of unaspirated regatta town, and rabbits' deity: make the location of a sad occurrence 61 years ago

 

[DanTrain]

Chapel-en-le-Frith?

 

[Calthrop]

If I may resort to doggerel:

That has to be the quickest ever --
And I thought that I was being so clever...

Your extremely well-merited floor.

 

[DanTrain]

A quick Google of 1957 rail accidents did most of the work!

Afloat at sea with no tea and the muddled up Christian Name of a communist dictator.

 

[neilmc]

I think it's DRIFFIELD. "Drift" minus T and field = anagram of Fidel

 

[DanTrain]

That’s it for exactly those reasons . Your go!

 

[neilmc]

OK thanks.

Ferrari in the middle

 

[Karl]

Redcar Central?

 

[neilmc]

Well done, Karl, no extra clues needed this time!
