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?

Good job you didn't say it then.



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?

'cos it's cryptic and...

...is actually a hint.

Indeed I could have written:

A station hidden in a street ringed by buildings.

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.

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.

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.
