Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

Crossflatts ?

Congratulations, (A)Crossflatts is the answer.

 

[Springs Branch]

An easy one ....

North of Manchester, slobs cry more.

Bromley Cross?

 

[Springs Branch]

That's correct.

Over to you.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

This is not the appropriate thing to say after a bit of "How's your father?".

 

[cadoxton]

Bedworth?

 

[DaleCooper]

Bedworth?

I might have known there would be someone out there with a dirty mind! No it's not Bedworth.

 

[cadoxton]

OK, what about Great Missenden?

 

[DaleCooper]

OK, what about Great Missenden?

That's even worse, it's downright disgusting. Try and think innocent thoughts for a change and you might get the answer.

 

[cadoxton]

Sorry, not sure what you're getting at there.

Thought process was

Not appropriate = Miss
After = end
How's your father? (posed as a question) = Great as a direct answer, or as a reference to an elder.
A bit of = en (stretching with that bit)

Oops, it must be me with a mind like a sewer, I won't go into too much detail except to say that I took "enden" to be a homophone with "end in".

Hint: Scotland

Duns?

with after = Dun (done)
and the rest, specifically 'a bit' of the latter referring to 's'

Duns dunsn't have a station any more and the rules allow only current stations, sorry.

was looking at a rail map, but did not look at the key it has a bus link on it.

 

[Buttsy]

Coatdyke?

 

[DaleCooper]

Coatdyke?

I really like that one, as in "get yer ....". Or am I reading too much into it? Anyway it's wrong.

Another hint:

Written backwards it looks a bit like a Welsh place name.

 

[cadoxton]

Linlithgow?

 

[DaleCooper]

Linlithgow?

I don't know how you came up with that, although it does have the same number of letters.

It might help to ponder the reason for the question mark in "How's your father?".

 

[cadoxton]

...not the appropriate 'thing'
Take 'thing' from Linlithgow and it could read Lilow (depending on which 'I' was taken).
And I'm sure there are plenty or reasons why that might have worked with latter part of the clue.
Also, it's kind of Welsh looking backwards.

 

[DaleCooper]

I seem to have you all stumped with this one so here's another hint (hangman style):

To prevent this from stagnating I'm going to give additional hints with one more letter each time until someone gets it, or I die, so to recap:

A ststion in Scotland
10 letters
Written backwards it looks a bit like a Welsh place name.
It might help to ponder the reason for the question mark in "How's your father?".

and now:

[FQ]

Motherwell?

 

[DaleCooper]

Motherwell?

You've got it! Now everyone can see how innocent the clue was with no innuendo at all.

 

[FQ]

I hope this one isn't too hard and that it is ok.

Compass point up at a Northern depot.

 

[cadoxton]

Hmmn.... West Allerton to start with?

 

[FQ]

Close but no. Think of the first part of the clue. You have the last bit.

 

[DasLunatic]

(Darlington) North Road?

 

[FQ]

Nope. But close geographically.

Come on! It's not that hard! The Allerton bit at the end is correct but you are wrong about the first bit as 'West' Cadoxton.

That just leaves Northallerton I suppose.

 

[FQ]

Correct.

Compass point up - North is usually on the top of compasses
Northern depot - As you got, I was referring to Allerton.

Your go.

The ideal place for the study of chocolate.
