Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

Upholland?

I like your thought-processes here; but, not the answer that I'm thinking of. (Attention directed to clue's second sentence.)

 

[DaleCooper]

Thank you !

Could be construed as a poetic description by a Dutchman (using our language) of how his compatriots increase their country's land area. (The place is, incidentally, located in a region where in the past, those folk gave us help vis-a-vis similar activities.)

Whittlesea?

 

[Calthrop]

Correct -- "conceit" of whittling away at the (contiguous) sea ...

Uw beurt, Mijnheer Cooper.

Thank you.

Next clue:

Peveril (a restored Beyer Peacock from the Isle of Man) is here.

 

[D6130]

Port Erin?

 

[DaleCooper]

Port Erin?

That wouldn't be very cryptic, would it?

 

[D6130]

That wouldn't be very cryptic, would it?

Very true....but I couldn't think of anything else on the spur of the moment! You could call it a 'tongue-in-cheek' response!

 

[Calthrop]

Daft very probably, but in a different way -- how about Darley Dale, on the "heritage" Peak Rail line? -- thinking of Sir Walter Scott's novel PEVERIL of the Peak ...

My clue may be convoluted but it's not that convoluted.

 

[Calthrop]

My clue may be convoluted but it's not that convoluted.

That's what I thought ! England once had a couple of stations which might work with this theme, in a less tortured way -- Peak Forest; and Ravenscar (Scarborough -- Whitby line), which was previously named Peak; but those two are no more.

 

[Calthrop]

Probably getting increasingly frantic -- Hatfield Peverel?

 

[DaleCooper]

Probably getting increasingly frantic -- Hatfield Peverel?

At this rate your stock of franticity is going to run out very soon. Hatfield Peverel it ain't.

 

[DaleCooper]

Peveril (a restored Beyer Peacock from the Isle of Man) is here.

Hint time:

Identify the anagram indicator and discard the unnecessary fluff to find this LU station.

Perivale ?

 

[DaleCooper]

Perivale ?

An anagram of "Peveril a", all the Beyer Peacock stuff was just misdirection. Your turn...

 

[Purple Train]

Perivale ?

(Considering it's in my signature, I really should have got that )

 

[Loppylugs]

Thank-you.

Sandwich - a perfect example.

 

[Purple Train]

Sandwich? Ham Street? London Tuna-and-cucumber? (I wish)

 

[Loppylugs]

Sandwich? Ham Street? London Tuna-and-cucumber? (I wish)

Nothing doing there for me.

 

[neilmc]

Bredbury? (your filling gets buried in bread??)

 

[DaleCooper]

Egham?

 

[Loppylugs]

Bredbury? (your filling gets buried in bread??)

Not Bredbury.

Egham?

Not Egham.

This location once boasted a wonderful steam engine shed, stocked with Royal Scots and Jubilees.

Meant as a hint -- but has me seeing (extremely) alternative history and time-lines (@Loppylugs -- not your fault; mine for being often not bright at this lark).

 

[neilmc]

Could it be non-food related as for example Kentish Town?

 

[Loppylugs]

Could it be non-food related as for example Kentish Town?

Kentish Town is the correct answer. First shed out of St. Pancras. Over to you.

 

[neilmc]

This station has too many steps for most of us!

 

[Calthrop]

Just to put something forward -- Stepps (North Lanarkshire) ??

 

[Purple Train]

Broadstairs?
Or is it an LU station that has fifteen floors...?

 

[neilmc]

Neither of the above are correct - the steps are not physical objects. Can you charm yet another clue out of me??
