Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

Thank you.

Next clue:

This station could be FMF or DMD.

Hint:

It's another one from my favourite source of station names, Wales.

 

[DaleCooper]

Another hint:

A prisoner could choose his level here.

 

[Calthrop]

Just to suggest something -- rubbish, I'm sure -- Conwy? Old spelling, "Conway" -- where a "con" might choose his "way" ?? (I'm like my favourite fictional detective, who has a serious blind spot with initials / acronyms: couldn't even begin to get anywhere with FMF and DMD.)

It's not Conwy. I thought the mention of "level" would help you.

FMF and DMD are neither initials nor acronyms but more of a puzzle.

(My italics) -- to me, that they most certainly are... no more attempts re this one by me, for quite some time; not sulking, just have to go out-and-about for a good many hours !

 

[DaleCooper]

Two hints:

Where's the M?
Number Six was nearby.

 

[DaleCooper]

This should give it away:

Two gauges.

 

[Calthrop]

Minffordd? If this correct, open floor, please: I feel that I've been highly obtuse, and "giving it away" indeed describes the situation.

M in FF or DD (near Portmeirion, location of The Prisoner who was Number Six) is correct. Open floor...

Here's a quickie:

Bad news for the musician. He almost gets a blow back in his wind instrument.

 

[Calthrop]

Maybe not proving quite so much of a quickie ! -- herewith one of my "batty" ones -- whose being right, pretty well inconceivable -- just to submit something. West Brompton?? -- "Brompton" is "almost" an anagram of "trombone"; "West" and the letters "p" and "e" presumably fit in, in some way which I can't figure out ...

It's not West Brompton, but you are very close geographically.

 

[Loppylugs]

Have a troll round the LU system and see what you can find.

 

[RDP]

Alperton?

Holborn

 

[Loppylugs]

Alperton?

See below

Holborn

Yes indeed. Horn being the wind instrument and olb is almost blow backwards. Over to you.

 

[DaleCooper]

Alperton?

I enjoyed the Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass reference.

Yes indeed. Horn being the wind instrument and olb is almost blow backwards. Over to you.

Thanks but open floor...

 

[Calthrop]

In part of the world where according to those not from there, "they talk funny": we might read Russian obeying / agreeing with (affectionately abbreviated) Raj-ruling-class womenfolk.

Darwen

 

[Calthrop]

Darwen

You're very much on the right track, in all senses -- but it isn't Darwen. (It isn't a National Rail station.)

 

[RDP]

Damems (K&WVR)?

 

[Calthrop]

Damems (K&WVR)?

Correct: "Da" (Russian for "yes"), plus "Mems", short for Memsahibs.

Comrade, please be setting the esteemed next question.

 

[RDP]

Open Floor.

 

[Loppylugs]

Bit of fun then:

What a thespian might do between Hessle and Barton-on-Humber.

 

[Henffordd]

No station at Ham, so must be Acton Bridge.

 

[Loppylugs]

No station at Ham, so must be Acton Bridge.

Absolutely. Over to you.

 

[Henffordd]

King in a stew?

[Henffordd]

Had to look that one up! But no.
