Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

I like it ! -- but it isn't my planned answer (which is, geographically -- while not "next door to" -- not an immensely long way either, from your suggested one).

Chaffinch Hundred Larksong?

 

[Calthrop]

Let's try an alternative -- From friendly, peaceable drunk: counsel (blurred-and-slurred) -- gin, not brawl.

 

[Loppylugs]

Home earlier than I thought @Calthrop so will have a go at Warblington.

 

[Calthrop]

Warblington it is. @Loppylugs -- pray set the next poser.

 

[Loppylugs]

Warblington it is. -- pray set the next poser.

Thanks @Calthrop

Here is a quickie in case I get called out again tonight, so:

It's vewy vewy sad. That wotten wabbit has shot me wiv a wifle. R.I.P. (or W.I.P. as the case may be).

 

[Calthrop]

Elmers End, I do believe -- the unfortunate Mr. Fudd ...

 

[Loppylugs]

Elmers End, I do believe -- the unfortunate Mr. Fudd ...

Yes indeed, vewy messy. Back to you @Calthrop

 

[Calthrop]

From first thing Monday, I'll be going on a week's holiday in a for me computer-less location; so best say, open floor please.

 

[Calthrop]

From first thing Monday, I'll be going on a week's holiday in a for me computer-less location; so best say, open floor please.

Holiday has had to be called off -- so (nobody having stepped up), I'll take the next one after all -- with quite a short-and-snappy clue by my standards.

An elated Isaac (sounds like)? (probably about that dratted apple)

 

[John Griffiths]

Someone has to start... and sorry that your holiday is not taking place... but the Isaac reference suggests Hayes.

 

[Calthrop]

A friend of mine, and great music buff, once described me accurately as "musically dead" -- two or three minutes ago as I type this, I'd never heard of Isaac Hayes (following on from your reference, I've Googled him) -- sorry: it isn't Hayes.

 

[htafc]

Newton-le-Willows?

 

[John Griffiths]

Lightbulb, or possibly apple on bonce, moment while thinking of Isaacs. Not the one Abraham was going to kebab, but Grantham's second most famous offspring? And being elated, Newtonmore ?

The Newton is indeed the 17th / 18th century scienceperson (@htafc, I take it you're thinking of him too); however, answer-station is neither of you's suggested one -- it is geographically between the two.

 

[John Griffiths]

Newton makes his great discovery, and tells his serving man, Clifford, about it. "Yon gravity mun be a great invention, sir" says the trusty retainer. Replies Newton "Ay, Cliffe, it will change the way that natural philosophy is perceived in this and other realms."

 

[Calthrop]

Verily, sir, it striketh me as "awful, amusing and artificial", as that Papist idiot (but just occasionally, pithy wordsmith) King (mercifully briefly) James II; said of Wren's new St. Paul's Cathedral -- just how great a number of voyagers'-boarding-and-discharging-points on that future mode of transport, the steam rail-road: shall turn out to be hight "Newton-somewhat" (or indeed, "somewhat-Newton"). Amidst this minor multitude -- alack, no wight hath yet hit upon the correct one.

Not Asimov Junction then?

You've been shafted.

 

[neilmc]

Newton On Ayr?

 

[Calthrop]

Newton On Ayr?

That's it ! -- the ecstatic Sir I.N. walking, or floating, on "air" -- will confess to never having heard of the station concerned, before this evening.

'tis thine, Sir neilmc, to pose the next pretty rebus to the assembled company.

 

[neilmc]

You can meet her on the 4.50 from Paddington

 

[D6130]

Marple?

 

[htafc]

A rare instance of an ecstatic Newton, then: he supposedly only laughed twice in his entire life!

 

[Purple Train]

Rose Hill Marple?

 

[neilmc]

Marple it is of course, as in Miss Jane Marple the Agatha Christie detective. D6130 can take the next train out of here.

 

[Calthrop]

A rare instance of an ecstatic Newton, then: he supposedly only laughed twice in his entire life!

But supposedly one of his last utterances, expressed joy and satisfaction at his dying a virgin. A rather unusual chap ...

 

[D6130]

Marple it is of course, as in Miss Jane Marple the Agatha Christie detective. D6130 can take the next train out of here.

Thank you. Here's an easy one:

Tram pond kup

 

[Loppylugs]

Thank you. Here's an easy one:

Every dog's favourite: Dumpton Park

 

[D6130]

Every dog's favourite: Dumpton Park

Yes indeedy! Your turn for the empties to Ramsgate Depot.

 

[Loppylugs]

Yes indeedy! Your turn for the empties to Ramsgate Depot.

Thank-you.

This is the brightest, cleanest station on the system, forwards, backwards, any which way you look at it.

 

[DaleCooper]

Thank-you.

Grimsby Docks?
