Cryptic clues = station name

[D841 Roebuck]

Surely you have to stick to your original riddle?

As long as the answer's the same, then treat it as a clue to the original.

And please don't argue about the rules, or the Prestbury Pensioner will intervene...

 

[DaleCooper]

A week has passed, does anyone still care what the answer is?

 

[Buttsy]

Not really

 

[backontrack]

And now it's been two days.

 

[DasLunatic]

Let's end this.

I was referring to Robert Llewellyn when I referred to Kryten, and the company that made Evans fast was the Express Lift Company. Robert was born in Northampton, and Express was founded in Northampton.

Here's a slightly easier riddle for you:

I would be working, but part of me's on strike

Thanks for that however he may have been born in Northampton but I believe he lives in Gloucestershire.

Okay... who's the bloke who plays Kryten and where does he live?

Ludlow?

 

[DasLunatic]

Fraid not. I would be working, but there'll be something missing...

 

[DaleCooper]

Woking?

 

[DasLunatic]

That's the ticket! Your floor.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

A station hidden in a forest ringed by mountains.

 

[backontrack]

Middlewood?

 

[DaleCooper]

Middlewood?

Good idea but not the right answer.

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Liss?

 

[DaleCooper]

Liss?

No, that's not it (I've no idea how you came up with Liss)

 

[Buttsy]

Elmstead Woods?

 

[DaleCooper]

Elmstead Woods?

Not that either.

 

[Mvann]

Would have said ringwood, but it's a closed station.

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

No, that's not it (I've no idea how you came up with Liss)

Liss forest, of course

 

[DaleCooper]

Would have said ringwood, but it's a closed station.

Good job you didn't say it then.

Liss forest, of course

Perhaps I should add that it's got nothing to do with forests or mountains both of which are scarce in this part of the country.

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Perhaps I should add that it's got nothing to do with forests or mountains both of which are scarce in this part of the country.

If that is the case, and it has nothing to do with forests, why your clue?

 

[DaleCooper]

If that is the case, and it has nothing to do with forests, why your clue?

'cos it's cryptic and...

Perhaps I should add that it's got nothing to do with forests or mountains both of which are scarce in this part of the country.

...is actually a hint.

Indeed I could have written:

A station hidden in a street ringed by buildings.

 

[Springs Branch]

Partial anagram .....

East Grinstead ?

Oops, no second "a" in the second clue!

 

[Seacook]

'cos it's cryptic and... ...is actually a hint.

Indeed I could have written:

A station hidden in a street ringed by buildings.

Tring, mayhap?

 

[DaleCooper]

Tring, mayhap?

It is indeed Tring, well done.

 

[Seacook]

It is indeed Tring, well done.

The 'well done' is an exaggeration. I am ashamed it took me so long. I must be out of practice. Anyway it is now open floor.

--------------------
I have now composed one:

Household creatures taken aback by an addition

-----------------
No answers yet so it's time for a hint. This is charade-type clue, as opposed to a hidden word, anagram or double meaning.

 

[backontrack]

Petts Wood?

 

[Seacook]

Petts Wood?

No. Part of your answer fits part of the clue but that is as far as it goes.

 

[DaleCooper]

I have now composed one:

I'm glad you have.

Is it Starcross?

or more likely Stepps?

 

[Seacook]

I'm glad you have.

Is it Starcross?

or more likely Stepps?

Sorry to have taken so long to respond. I missed your post.

It is Stepps. PETS reversed ('taken aback") by ("next to") PS.

I like Starcross, though. I should have written friendly household creatures to avoid ambiguity.

 

[DaleCooper]

Some people have pet rats.

Anyway next clue:

A Leeds fan gets a Deltic overhauled in Manchester

Hint no.1: This station really is in Manchester.
