The red highlight was a bit of a giveaway.

Next on this channel - Industrial Relations News:

TfL's current course has the potential to be met with resistance from conductors.

Goslow? You know - that place you see painted on roads everywhere

Goslow? You know - that place you see painted on roads everywhere

That's half way between Gosport and Hounslow is it not?. It's a bit early for hints but they will come in due course.

TfL's current course has the potential to be met with resistance from conductors.

Time for a hint?

I've given you the operator, note some very carefully chosen nouns and an adjective in the clue.

Ampere Way on the Croydon Tramlink.

 

[DaleCooper]

Ampere Way on the Croydon Tramlink.

That's it because a potential difference produces a current inversely proportional to the resistance of the conductor.

Your turn...

Next clue

Swiss gold in a hard clay subsoil, or a civil parish in Lancashire.

 

[Loppylugs]

I'll try Chorley

 

[duncanp]

No it isn't Chorley

The answer station is not in Lancashire.

 

[RobertsN]

I'll take a dip into the shark-infested pool with Egham.

Close enough to the Lancashire parish of Cockerham - minus CH for Swiss, and Rock for "hard clay subsoil"...

Still trying to find a "G" to fit the clue though....

 

[duncanp]

The answer is not Egham

Think of the chemical symbol for gold, and the two letter code for Switzerland.

 

[Caboose Class]

Next clue

Swiss gold in a hard clay subsoil, or a civil parish in Lancashire.

Auchinleck?

 

[duncanp]

Auchinleck is correct.

Au = Gold
Ch = Swiss
Leck = a hard clay subsoil (according to the Merriam Webster dictionary) or a civil parish in Lancashire.

Golf Street?

 

[Loppylugs]

Golf Street?

Not Golf Street

 

[Caboose Class]

Fairly flat here, but on arrival at my destination staff hand me an iron.

Denham Golf Club?

 

[Loppylugs]

Denham Golf Club?

Yes indeed. Hand me is an anagram of Denham and the iron being the golf club.

Back to you.

New clue:- Number in reverse order

 

[DaleCooper]

New clue:- Number in reverse order

Wetheral?

 

[Caboose Class]

Wetheral?

is the correct answer! Ether (anaesthetic = number) in wal = law (order) reversed.

 

[DaleCooper]

is the correct answer! Ether (anaesthetic = number) in wal = law (order) reversed.

That was a damn fine clue, concise and cunningly wrought. By a remarkable coincidence "ether" is an anagram of "three"... spooky!

Next clue:

This could be the home of an outrageous, randy one (e.g. Mae West).

Defeated once again! I thought of Maesteg - but that doesn't work. Over to the midnight shift.

Perhaps you give up too easily.

 

[Loppylugs]

Thanks to the groundwork of @Caboose Class, it has to be Maesteg Ewenny Road

That's the one, your turn...

 

[Loppylugs]

I think it only fair that someone else has a go, so open floor.

Go on then - this could either get solved in ten seconds or not!
