Cryptic clues = station name

Mezzanine?

I am not sure if Darren means that as a clue but I suspect not as "open floor" usually means that whoever wants to set one is free to do so. To that end I offer this:

No man is one of these? This place might suggest otherwise!

Sorry: this may not last long but I can't think of a better clue.

Barry Island

Barry Island

Is the right answer. I once saw a quote in a welsh joke book which was "If no man is an island, what about Barry?" - - but I will give you that answer.

Next one please.

A new breed heading off half the adult population

Pretty clearly Aberdeen

It's sinister making a leg on the outside

--------------------------------------------------------

Separating the cryptic components from the indicators:

It's sinister

making a leg on the outside

-------------------------------------------------------
Clue "making a leg" is a phrase; do not consider the words separately.

You need to find something meaning "making a leg" and place inside it something meaning "sinister".

---------------------------------------------------
I had completely forgotten about this thread. If no one finds the answer today I will announce it tomorrow. I deliberately tried to clue this one without a reference to cricket, which would have been easier to answer (probably).

Bowling?

 

[Seacook]

Bowling?

Yay! 'Making a leg' is an old term for bowing and sinister is left.

 

[Buttsy]

As one hasn't been done for a week, I'll offer up George's garden implement, but please feel free D6975 to post your own.

If you're thinking of George Eastham, it could be Eastham Rake?

Disputes Henry Ford's alleged comment?

 

[Welshman]

This seems to have died the death, so the answer is Redcar.

[Henry Ford was reputed to say you could have his model T Ford in any colour as long as it was black]

Open Floor.

I have looked and looked at this quiz and decided I do not have the mindset.

I tried to find a clue to give Newtonmore for example
Looking back one could say Othello is weighty but not old
but I thought my idea was just weird.

So my question, turning the puzzle on its head for once, what clue might you experts give to resolve as Newtonmore?


Anyway Open Floor Continues

'Isaac requires extra' would be my attempt in relation to cjp's comment, but his clue would have been fun for the better cryptic solvers I've no doubt.

I'll punt this one up:

Dave's crossing

I wondered about:-

If it's David Gates of "Bread" could it be
Crossgates?

Not the Dave I was thinking of.

 

[Welshman]

Or the Irish football coach Dave Connell.

Then it would be

Connel Ferry.

[I'll give up now, I promise!]

Again, not the Dave I was thinking of, but football could be a bit of a clue.

 

[Meridian richard]

Doesn't quite fit but I will try it anyway

Beckenham Junction

 

[Buttsy]

It appears a further clue is required.

Mr Gascoigne and footballer Wayne combine here.

Bamber Bridge?

I was referring to the Pompey & Blackpool footballer of the 80s, Dave (or the actor Dave) originally
