Cryptic clues = station name

Newton was so last century, this might be where the apple has a fall.

 

[DaleCooper]

Maybole?

 

[Springs Branch]

Maybole?

Not that.

As a hint: The apple referenced in this clue is 21st Century computer behemoth Apple[sup]®[/sup] Inc.

 

[BurtonM]

Too easy - IBM.
Open floor if correct.

 

[DasLunatic]

Not that.

I was about to say Uxbridge, based on the fact Apple has their UK HQ there.

 

[Springs Branch]

None of the above.
I think this one has probably run its course (and I won't be around to monitor for next few days), so here’s the solution & we can move on ….

The Newton was an Apple computer discontinued prior to year 2000, and if Apple ever release an app for falling down, it will probably be called - iSlip.

Open Floor for the next question.

 

[DasLunatic]

Merci.

[DaleCooper]

Time for a hint please.

 

[DasLunatic]

If I post 'BENTON' and describe this one as 'short', would that help?

 

[DaleCooper]

Presumably Longbenton Metro station

 

[DasLunatic]

Presumably Longbenton Metro station

There we go.

 

[DaleCooper]

You arrive at this station from a Cornish one going in the opposite direction, west instead of east.

Looks like Wool derived from Looe.

Open floor, of confirmed.

Correct

It seems it's nearly always you who solves my clues, either they're too easy or we are on the same wavelength. It's about time you gave me another chance to return the compliment.

 

[DasLunatic]

Since no-one's taken the floor...

An electrifying route

 

[DaleCooper]

Acton Main Line or Beltring?

 

[DasLunatic]

Acton Main Line or Beltring?

Nope.

 

[Springs Branch]

.... I think the main rule should be to include current UK rail stations (NR, LUL, preserved, trams etc) to give a good source of stations to use .....

After reminding myself that non-NR stations are allowed in this quiz, I'll say Ampere Way on the Croydon Tramlink

You'll be correct. Your floor.

 

[Springs Branch]

Better make it Open Floor.

 

[DasLunatic]

Another one?

Holy Cryptonomicon!

 

[Welshman]

London St.Pancras International?

 

[DasLunatic]

Nope. If I told you the Cryptonomicon is the title of a book...

 

[Springs Branch]

One of the characters in the book of that name is Enoch Root, so St Enoch (Glasgow Subway)?

 

[DasLunatic]

There we go.

 

[Springs Branch]

Both his tablets were revised at some stage.

 

[DaleCooper]

Moses Gate?

 

[Springs Branch]

That was an easy one!

Moses Gate

.... is correct.

Your Floor.

 

[DaleCooper]

That was an easy one!.

Not so easy I just got lucky.

Next clue:

At the barrier one is lost and confused then yells "Not southeast?".

 

[Welshman]

Nope. If I told you the Cryptonomicon is the title of a book...

Yes - I realised that.
I was thinking of a book on different time levels, as St Pancras exhibits three time levels - the original Midland Railway, the former Thameslink, and now Eurostar.

Sometimes there can be more than one possible answer to a conundrum!
