Cryptic clues = station name

[Eng274]

Huh? I don't get this one. And I live 12 miles from TM.



Foxfield

nope, sorry!

 

[Peter Mugridge]

Temple = place of worship.

Mead = drink brewed by monks.....


And before anyone asks "What about the Bristol bit?", there were indeed monasteries in the area:

[Mvann]

Is there a station at foxhole?

 

[Ivo]

Foxton? Being in Cambridgeshire, it is likely to be a flat ("lowland") area.

@ Mvann: I don't believe so...

 

[Mvann]

My next suggestion would have been foxdale, but that is a long closed Manx station.

 

[Eng274]

Nowhere near (both geographically and literally) im afraid. perhaps i worded it a bit too cryptically, so ill change it slightly:

Mountie's due cunning

 

[Ivo]

This is somewhere in Scotland isn't it?

 

[Mvann]

Canada wharf

 

[Ivo]

Canada wharf

Where is that?

 

[Eng274]

incorrect for canada wharf

 

[Mvann]

Where is that?

London docklands.

 

[Ivo]

It is? It's not a name I remember. You have probably gotten Canary Wharf and Canada Water mixed up.

 

[Mvann]

Maple cross

 

[Eng274]

wrong again im afraid

Redruth???? clutching at straws only the red really fits.

 

[Zamracene749]

South (as in due or lowland) Gyle (guile)

Spot on!

 

[Zamracene749]

Ok, since I can't think of a cryptic for Llanfair PG, here goes-probably too easy-

Is this station less cool than the rest?

 

[Matt Taylor]

Walmer

 

[Zamracene749]

Walmer

No but i can see where you came from

Think cool as in hip and trendy....

Is it Dorking?

 

[Zamracene749]

Another good thought, but not Dorking

I'll narrow it down a bit with a non cryptic hint- The line it's situated on serves two large holiday towns, one much smaller one and a port city!

Nafferton? If not I'll retire quietly

..or birkdale? situated between liverpool and southport?

 

[Zamracene749]

Nafferton it is Lexy- the floor's yours

Although I did rather like Birkdale too

Phew! Took a while that one

I fancy going to the next station:
nothing forbidden

Err...Any Permitted?

 

[LexyBoy]

Err...Any Permitted?

Time for a clue perhaps... try thinking mathematically about the first part...

 

[Lad Brookes]

Oban?

 

[LexyBoy]

Oban?

Bingo! Over to you!

*makes mental note not to make clues so short in future!*

In the absence of a clue from Lad Brookes, hope i'm not too presumptious to sneak in with a quick one... This one is an Underground station.
