[Springs Branch]

Red jackets and red faces - obviously they were outfoxed.

Hunts Cross?

 

[Springs Branch]

Hunts Cross?

They certainly were.

Your Floor.

 

[Seacook]

I'm leaving properly

 

[backontrack]

Anagram? If not, Exeter?

...Central?

 

[Seacook]

Anagram? If not, Exeter?

...Central?

Sorry, it's no Exeter station at all. I would have tried to suggest a sound (probably with 'I tell you') if it had been. The clue refers to the whole of the station name as shown on the NRE website.

 

[backontrack]

Ramsgreave & Wilpshire?

 

[Seacook]

Ramsgreave & Wilpshire?

Nope. When you find the answer, you will be in no doubt that it is correct.
I like to use a minimalist style containing both a cryptic part and a clue type indicator, as here/

Good luck.

 

[DaleCooper]

Islip?

 

[Seacook]

Islip?

Nothing like.

It might help to consider why it says "I'm" and not "I am".

 

[DaleCooper]

It might help to consider why it says "I'm" and not "I am".

Don't worry, I've been puzzling over the significance of that from the beginning.

 

[me123]

Milngavie

 

[Seacook]

Milngavie

Indeed it is.

"properly" was the anagram indicator.

 

[me123]

Always feel smart when I get one of these correct

However, I'm not smart enough to come up with one of my own , so I'll open the floor up.

 

[backontrack]

I'll take it.

Entitling howls west of dear green place

 

[me123]

Hillington West?

 

[backontrack]

Correct, how did you guess so quickly?

 

[me123]

I come from the "Dear Green Place" originally, so I just kinda got it from there

I still have nothing, so back to open floor!

 

[DasLunatic]

I'm more than six feet under a magistrate

 

[Springs Branch]

Dockyard ?

 

[DasLunatic]

Dockyard ?

Nope... let me help you with an extra word...

I'm more than six feet under a magistrate's spurs

 

[Springs Branch]

So that guy Eliot Ness, scourge of the Chicago mobsters - was he some kind of Magistrate?
In which case .... Shoeburyness

 

[DasLunatic]

No. You're closer, though.

 

[DaleCooper]

Blackhorse Road?

 

[DasLunatic]

Nope... closer still

I'm more than six feet under a magistrate's spurs

 

[DaleCooper]

Surely not Tottenham Court Road.

 

[DasLunatic]

Surely not Tottenham Court Road.

Took you long enough...


Correct.

 

[DaleCooper]

Took you long enough...


Correct.

But I don't know why, apart from the spurs bit and that wasn't in it originally.

 

[DasLunatic]

Six feet under - Station is underground

Magistrate - type of court

The only underground* station with the word 'court' is Tottenham Court Road.

*Below ground level

HAL's successors stop here
