Cryptic clues = station name

Liverpool street? (Great Eastern?)

 

[D6130]

East Garforth? (Garforth East)

 

[Caboose Class]

Liverpool street? (Great Eastern?)

Incorrect.

 

[Caboose Class]

East Garforth? (Garforth East)

Incorrect

 

[Caboose Class]

Another clue. Note the absence of any capital letters in ge.

 

[D6130]

Hathersage ?
Burnage ?

 

[462cd]

Penge East?

 

[Caboose Class]

Hathersage ?
Burnage ?

A good try - but not either of those two. The answer (unique) is a tad more cryptic!

 

[Caboose Class]

Penge East?

Another very good try - but not the correct answer. See below for a further clue.

 

[Caboose Class]

g is the seventh letter of the alphabet and e is the fifth. 7 and 5 = 6 and 6.

 

[RobertsN]

Seven Kings? As in the seventh letter and the E might represent Edwards and Edward VII in particular (though there were actually 8 of them - so far)...

Second thinking this, and probably, nah... too farfetched

Edit: Kings has 5 letters (just realised that).

 

[RobertsN]

Another twist of weird thinking, could make it:

Flowery Field (F being 6 and FF being 6 and 6), but also 7 and 5 letters in the two words.

P.S. Just wondering along mathematical lines here....

Two valiant efforts, indeed, but both wrong I'm afraid. See below.

 

[Caboose Class]

Final clue:- ge (6,6) If no one cracks it during the course of today, answer will be revealed at ca. 7pm when I get back home from a day out.

 

[Caboose Class]

The answer to ge (6,6) is Regent Centre, a station on the Tyne and Wear Metro. As no one managed to solve that particular clue, let's try another (easier) one:-

This station employs a porteress oddly enough

 

[DaleCooper]

Prees?

 

[Caboose Class]

Prees?

Correct answer - well done. The floor is yours. This station employs a porteress oddly enough (odd letters in porteress)

 

[DaleCooper]

Correct answer - well done. The floor is yours.

Thank you.

Next clue:

It's depicted in an animated image with the loud sound of rap.

 

[Calthrop]

Suggesting something, no matter how silly, in the interests of creating some action: Knockholt?

 

[DaleCooper]

Suggesting something, no matter how silly, in the interests of creating some action: Knockholt?

I think you might have deciphered half of the clue as although your answer is wrong it is also partly correct.

 

[Calthrop]

Kilmarnock? -- something in a cartoon-film sequence depicting matricide (we all know that characters killed in cartoons aren't actually dead, and there's no harm really done).

 

[DaleCooper]

Kilmarnock? -- something in a cartoon-film sequence depicting matricide (we all know that characters killed in cartoons aren't actually dead, and there's no harm really done).

The clue mentioned neither cartoons nor matricide (is that a mattress disinfectant?) however your answer is again half right.

 

[462cd]

Must be Giffnock then? (open floor if it is)

 

[DaleCooper]

Must be Giffnock then? (open floor if it is)

Giffnock is correct, it's open floor apparently.

 

[Calthrop]

In the 18th-century Jacobite rebellions, the challenge "Are you for King Jamie, or ----------?" was often heard; giving the not-wished-for answer could be embarrassing, or worse. There's a station whose name sounds much like the "blank" fifteenth word(s) in this post; what is its name? (The locals thereabouts, would have been fairly likely to reply, "Stuff 'em both: my vote is for Owain Glyndwr".)

Cynghordy

 

[Calthrop]

Cynghordy

"King Geordie" -- correct -- your floor.

 

[Caboose Class]

Trawler nets cogs in the harbour

If only to maybe get things moving -- Holytown: for reasons so silly / abstruse / blatantly and obviously wrong, that I'm embarrassed to offer any kind of explanation.

OK, lets try another less cryptic clue. A famous novelist and poet died here, aged only 29.
