Cryptic clues = station name

[johnnychips]

Sorry both. Note the second word.

 

[DaleCooper]

Sheerness-on-Sea?

 

[johnnychips]

No, it’s a tram stop, sorry.

 

[duncanp]

What about Gravel Hill on the Croydon Tramlink?

 

[johnnychips]

Sorry... ‘say’ can mean ‘sounds like’ and also ‘for example ‘. It means both in this clue.

 

[DaleCooper]

Sandilands?

 

[johnnychips]

There seem to be lots of sands and hills: let’s think bigger and steeper.

 

[DaleCooper]

Attercliffe?

 

[johnnychips]

I am currently sat on a tram-train and guess where the next stop is!

Well done!

Attercliffe sounds like ‘at a cliff’ of which Beachy Head is an example.

All yours!

For the answer you need a large sheet of paper and keep finding it in a tube.

Duffield?

 

[John Griffiths]

I think I'll have to give you that, even though it's not what I had in mind (which was Dumpton Park). Well done.

I prefer Dumpton Park so I'll accept only half a point and concede the floor. Someone else's turn ...

 

[Karl]

I'll have a go, cheers Dale...

Her Majesty leaves the shorebird here?

 

[duncanp]

St James Park, on the Avocet (= shorebird) line, which is also a tube station near Buckingham Palace.

Sandling?

St James Park, on the Avocet (= shorebird) line, which is also a tube station near Buckingham Palace.

Not that one, but I like it.

Sandling?

Here we are! Nice one Dale.

Sanderling being the little clockwork like shorebird that runs up and down the beach avoiding the incoming waves as they search for food. Classic little fellas.

Here's a 'grain' of them at work...

Over to you...
