Cryptic clues = station name

Eastleigh? (I don't get the brown though)

 

[d9009alycidon]

Nope, not East either. "U" will get this eventually

 

[RobertsN]

I'll toss my hat in the ring with "Umberleigh" since we are in Leigh and with an "U". No real reason why, just sort of sounded right...

Correct: Brown (Pigment) = Umber, Janet Leigh was famously murdered in Psycho, and there is a pub there called the Rising Sun - over to you.

The kids were happy. It was the night before Christmas. Yet it all proved a lie.

 

[John Griffiths]

Evesham?

 

[RobertsN]

Now, @John Griffiths , that was too fast. I expected it to last a little while longer....

Over to you now...

 

[John Griffiths]

Sorry!

Sounds like one means to cross a river here.

Hereford (= "here ford")

 

[John Griffiths]

Not the answer, but on the right lines.

 

[Loppylugs]

If it wasn't closed I'd have gone for Queensferry, but let's try Dartford.

 

[neilmc]

I'll try Fordingbridge

 

[Calthrop]

I'll try Fordingbridge

Call me a Scrooge; but didn't Fordingbridge lose its rail service in 1964? -- this game, about currently-open stations...

 

[John Griffiths]

All on the right lines, closed or open, but not the one I'm after. Maybe the indication of intent in the clue might help.

 

[Loppylugs]

Weybridge (Ways and means)

 

[John Griffiths]

Hah! Afraid not.

The station is served exclusively by the GWR, I think.

 

[RobertsN]

I'll go with Bridgewater.

 

[Loppylugs]

I'll try Trowbridge

 

[John Griffiths]

Not Bridgewater or Trowbridge. The station isn't in what you might call traditional GWR territory

 

[duncanp]

Shalford (=shall ford) on the line between Guildford and Dorking

 

[John Griffiths]

The beautiful North Downs line. Well done, Duncan, all yours.

 

[duncanp]

Next clue:-

No abhorrent bum here, as it has all been wiped clean.

Barton-on-Humber ?

 

[duncanp]

Er, yes it is Barton on Humber , being an anagram of No abhorrent bum

Your turn

 

[Calthrop]

Er, yes it is Barton on Humber , being an anagram of No abhorrent bum

Your turn

As above -- I like anagrams !

A sail or flight away: sounds a little like final consumption of the classically to-be-tackled-in-leisurely-fashion sweet.

Hint: please note the "a sail or flight away" part -- it should narrow things down considerably.

 

[johnnychips]

Dunmurry in NI. End of mint?

 

[Calthrop]

Dunmurry in NI. End of mint?

My bolding -- indeed: of the Murray "too good to hurry" kind. Dunmurry it is; your floor.

 

[johnnychips]

Powerfully insert bolt, for example, audibly at this station.

 

[Calthrop]

Hammerton ?? (you hammer it in; can hear the tone of so doing...)
