Cryptic clues = station name

[D6130]

Correct

Decide which one of you wants to set the next one.

See post #17, 154. I'm happy to concede to @Calthrop .

 

[DaleCooper]

Sorry -- was, I think, imagining stuff posted and then expunged?? -- have stricken out what I had posted.

Are you going to resurrect your stricken clue?

 

[Zamracene749]

Driver Calthrop? Signal's off, get your rather well stocked train full of vocabulary and wonderful words moving and back onto the cryptic main line

 

[D6130]

Paging @Calthrop!

 

[Calthrop]

Oh, crumbs -- sorry, folks ! Felt myself to be, basically, "in the doghouse" over this one; have only just looked afresh. Things being as they are -- I'll resurrect it (though feeling it to be rather daft -- and verbose) -- being definitely no computer genius, won't try to mess with previous typography, but will just re-type it...

Blood-and-thunder stuff to console this station for being the least-used in its county -- imagine James Bond encouraging his boss, captured by the bad guys -- as befits spy fiction, coded: respond with kack, M !

You weren't in the doghouse it's just that I'm a bit of a stickler for correct procedure also there have been several occasions when I was sure that I or someone else had the right answer only to find I was mistaken.

I think it may be Kempston Hardwick?

 

[Calthrop]

I think it may be Kempston Hardwick?

Correct (per Wikipedia, the least-used station in Bedfordshire).

Your turn.

OK here's a Calthrop-style clue:

So I went to see 40012 Aureol on the East Lancs Railway.

Verdict:

"EE Namer, rusty old branch!"

Ideal place for anglers to find fish swimming in the river.

 

[Strat-tastic]

Bank Hall.

 

[John Griffiths]

On the end of a Hook?

 

[D6130]

Thames Ditton?

 

[Zamracene749]

Weeley?

 

[Calthrop]

If we were doing this puzzle before April 1964, I'd suggest Rodmarton on the Kemble -- Tetbury branch: anglers could mar a ton of them with their rods ...

Thanks all for having a go, but:

Weeley?

Is the correct answer. Well done, over to you.
