Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

Another hint, try it with different punctuation:

AC/DC, purchase, a steamship, that's the wrong, way to cross a river.

Bishop's Stortford?

 

[DaleCooper]

Bishop's Stortford?

Bravo! You have it.

Bi - shop - SS - tort - ford

Your turn...

 

[Calthrop]

Thanks ! Would never have got it without your punctuational hint.

Get ocean insightfully right, while championing fresh-water source?

 

[Calthrop]

Hint: served by GW.

 

[Wilts Wanderer]

Paddington?

Ocean = PA (Pacific)
Insightfully right = 'Ding!'
While championing freshwater source = t(ea)-on?

 

[Calthrop]

Marked A for ingenuity, very definitely (though I don't get the t[ea]-on bit); but it isn't Paddington, I'm afraid.

I fear that in the "get...insightfully right" part, I may be alluding to an Americanism unfamiliar to many Britons (blame my spending too much time on US message boards). It's one monosyllabic word for -- as above -- "get...insightfully right".

 

[DaleCooper]

Nailsea & Backwell?

 

[Calthrop]

Nailsea & Backwell?

As the Yanks say: "you've nailed it" -- summed up the issue accurately, succinctly, and with insight. (Do that with the ocean; and support and lobby for inland hole in ground from which fresh water got.)

Your floor.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

One is disturbed by red robes and wig here.

 

[DaleCooper]

Hint:

Somewhere in the clue is an anagram of this Yorkshire station.

 

[Calthrop]

Sowerby Bridge?

 

[DaleCooper]

Sowerby Bridge?

One is disturbed by red robes and wig here.

That's it, your turn...

 

[Calthrop]

One is disturbed by red robes and wig here.

That's it, your turn...

My thanks.

Metheringham: anagram of MIGHT EARN MEH

 

[Calthrop]

Metheringham: anagram of MIGHT EARN MEH

Correct ! Your floor.

 

[Seacook]

Correct ! Your floor.

Open floor.

 

[Calthrop]

I'll have another bash, if I might.

Warminster!

Open floor again, if confirmed.

 

[Calthrop]

Absolutely right. Open floor, as per your instruction.

 

[johnnychips]

Yew is the clue.

 

[A Challenge]

Waterbeach?

 

[Seacook]

Yew is the clue.

If this is a down clue then the answer could be Upwey.

 

[johnnychips]

Well done it is Upwey!

 

[A Challenge]

What do you mean 'Down clue'?

 

[Seacook]

What do you mean 'Down clue'?

Down as opposed to across in a crossword. Upwey would indicate the letters WEY running upwards to spell
Y
E
W

Across clues use 'back' for the same sort of idea.

 

[Seacook]

Well done it is Upwey!

Open floor (yet again).

It's probably past time for me to build up a stock of clues.

 

[DaleCooper]

Open floor (yet again).

It's probably past time for me to build up a stock of clues.

Here's one from my stock:

A station named in honour of Her, the queen, head of the land with a nose job.

 

[Calthrop]

Sheerness-on-Sea?

 

[DaleCooper]

Sheerness-on-Sea?

Good grief, I didn't think that would go so quickly. Well done Calthrop, your turn...

 

[Calthrop]

Good grief, I didn't think that would go so quickly. Well done Calthrop, your turn...

Thank you, sir.
