Cryptic clues = station name

[Seacook]

I'll try Stone Crossing?

Good try, but no. There is a reason the clue is in Latin.

 

[Welshman]

Roman Bridge?

Roman Bridge has been closed for renovation, and is now re-opened as a request halt.
Latin is a "closed" language of the past, now used only "on request" by scholars, professional people, etc?

Roman Bridge it is. Latin has been closed down for not meeting accessibility and anti-discrimination laws. (Oh, and for being too vulgar.)

Where anglers are remembered by the nation's teddy-bear
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Clue time-

The "Nation's Teddy-Bear" is also at St Pancras International.

 

[Meridian richard]

I think its Dilton Marsh which is referred to in the John Betjeman (the nations teddy bear) poem Dilton Marsh Halt

 

[Welshman]

Correct

A man who knows his Betjeman as well as his Eliot!!

 

[Meridian richard]

Tom Jones or Will.i.am

 

[D841 Roebuck]

Singer

 

[Meridian richard]

Singer

Correct!
A bit too easy I think...

 

[D841 Roebuck]

Dance centre whose soft middle is more leaden than musical.

Alternatively, giving the same answer:
Permitted trunk

Still evidently too hard. Oh well:
Lame boy badly needs to visit here!

 

[Meridian richard]

Maybole!
Only just realised you had added additional clues since you pressed 'Edit' instead of adding a new post!

 

[D841 Roebuck]

Maybole is correct.

Sorry about the editing confusion...

Destination of the final train

 

[D841 Roebuck]

Probably not Clarksville, so I'll plump for Wembley Stadium

 

[Meridian richard]

Probably not Clarksville, so I'll plump for Wembley Stadium

Sorry no. In fact Clarksville is probably a bit closer to the answer

 

[Seacook]

Destination of the final train

This could refer to the TV series Last Train, in which case it might be Sheffield.

 

[Meridian richard]

This could refer to the TV series Last Train, in which case it might be Sheffield.

The destination of The last Train in the tv series was indeed Sheffield

 

[Seacook]

The destination of The last Train in the tv series was indeed Sheffield

Then the next one is

looking into Mae's book

 

[D841 Roebuck]

MaidstoMe West??o

 

[Seacook]

MaidstoMe West??o

Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike the answer. Sorry.

 

[Meridian richard]

How about Reading West

 

[Seacook]

How about Reading West

That's the one!

 

[Meridian richard]

Norris' Crossing

 

[Welshman]

Coleshill Parkway?

 

[Meridian richard]

Nope!

 

[Seacook]

Norris' Crossing

This could be a reference to Mrs Norris, the cat at Hogwarts, in which case the answer is probably Catford.

 

[Meridian richard]

Sorry wrong answer

Welshman was closer

 

[Welshman]

If we could have closed stations, I'd suggest Coleford in the Forest of Dean. However.

 

[Meridian richard]

Right man, wrong surname!
