Correct, it was Fairbourne.

 

[Calthrop]

I’ll take it, if I may, that it’s my floor.

Could I enquire, in passing: does “current UK rail stations” for this game, include stations in Northern Ireland – what’s the rule / convention / consensus on this point?

The following clue refers, fair and square, to a station on the island of Great Britain.

Playing-piece and seabird around a hundred, touch down.

Northern Ireland is in the UK therefore NI stations must be acceptable otherwise the rule makes no sense.

I'd hoped that this would be the line taken; but being new to "Cryptic clue = station name", wanted to be sure of the "culture" on this matter before going ahead setting clues about places in NI.

Beaulieu Road ?? (Wild guess.)

 

[Springs Branch]

Belle Vue ?

 

[Gutfright]

Beaulieu Road and Belle Vue are both incorrect.

The solution contains a bit of text-speak, I'm afraid. Hey, it's the 1990s and we all have to move with the times!

Manea ??

 

[cadoxton]

It's not Manea.

I think I will withdraw this clue as I don't believe the full station name is now used.
The clue was for 'Barking Underground', but it looks like it's now only referred to as Barking.

Nope, it's simpler. But you're doing it correctly in more ways than one.
