Cryptic clues = station name

[RDP]

Can't currently think of one so open floor.

((Kings x Ways) - (Oaks)) / Sisters = ?

 

[neilmc]

OAKS again?

 

[J663738]

OAKS again?

Which Oaks ??

 

[neilmc]

Four Oaks

 

[J663738]

Four Oaks

No, sorry. its not Four Oaks

 

[DaleCooper]

Four Oaks

I agree

(7 x 5 - 7)/7 = 4

No, sorry. its not Four Oaks

 

[J663738]

I agree

(7 x 5 - 7)/7 = 4

You are missing two sets of brackets, so Four Oaks is not right answer.

 

[J663738]

OK so this didn't go down very well.
((Kings x Ways) - (Oaks)) / Sisters = ?
((7X5)-(3+4+7))/7 = 3

Oaks are Three and Four and Seven!

So the answer is Three, but since we have used all the Oaks the only answer left is Three (Bridges)

I'll get my coat.....Open Floor!

In accordance with BODMAS the clue should have been:

(Kings x Ways - (Oaks+Oaks+Oaks)) / Sisters = ?

 

[J663738]

But then it really wouldn't have been much of a cryptic clue, if I did spell out there was more than one Oaks involved, just for mathematical correctness!

I'll take the floor.

Next clue:

The phrase "be lucky" somehow seems appropriate here.

[D6130]

[DaleCooper]

Cynghordy?

No, I couldn't think of an anagram of that. (hint, hint)

 

[J663738]

Has to be Buckley!

 

[DaleCooper]

Has to be Buckley!

[J663738]

Thank you.

Seaford

 

[J663738]

Sorry for late reply, Yes Correct!

As an aside I put this clue to an AI bot to check was it too easy?
and amazingly it quoted RailUK Cyrptic Clues thread in it's reasoning! Almost as it had seen it before???

Seaford has appeared in this thread several times but with clues completely different from yours. I'd be interested to know exactly what question you asked the AI.

Next clue:

Torture yields the name of the station

To be honest I can't remember exactly, but it was long painful process, I had to explain each step over and over and even when it got fedoras it could not even come up with an anagram of it for some reason, closest it got was Fordsea.
I kept thinking, do I want to be in a self drive car powered by AI?

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

Torture yields the name of the station

Hint:

It's in NW England and managed by Northern.

 

[DaleCooper]

Another hint:

It's a small, staffed station (category E) which (according to Wikipedia) won a "Best Kept Garden" award a few years ago.

 

[J663738]

Disley, seems to tick all those boxes and its an anagram of yields.

Open floor if correct.

Correct therefore open floor...

 

[J663738]

OK, since no one has come along
Here's an easy one.

The hustlers were ruthless to find a solution?

 

[neilmc]

Don't find this easy at all, except to observe the "hustlers" is an anagram of "ruthless".

You might be on to something there!!
