Next clue:

The DMU has right away at this station
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
...

It might be easier if you changed "DMU" to "HST", "The Flying Scotsman", "the 0930 from Paddington to Exeter" or any other train you choose.

 

[backontrack]

The nearest I can think of is Yeovil Pen Mill.

'DMU' is immaterial, so therefore the rest of the clue must be looked at; clue therefore not anagram
Synonyms for 'away' include 'off'
Plymouth has a ferry service to Roscoff
Right of Plymouth on a railway map would be east of Plymouth
Yeovil is east of Plymouth
Yeovil Pen Mill is the station for Yeovil that is further east
SWT now has 'right of way' to run via Yeovil Pen Mill

Probably nowhere near, a bit daft really. Besides, the train might not be completely immaterial; it might have another meaning. And the word 'station' isn't included.

DMU isn't immaterial it's just one member of a particular set as are all the others I suggested.

Err---Tain?

 

[DaleCooper]

Err---Tain?

Err...Yes.

I was beginning to think that the reference to different types of train might be too obscure for this forum.

 

[Zamracene749]

Ok a simple one

Military Army station is found here

 

[DasLunatic]

Lympstone Commando?

 

[Zamracene749]

No, not Lympstone Commando...

 

[Springs Branch]

Burnley Barracks ?

 

[Zamracene749]

Not Burnley Barracks....

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Liss?

 

[me123]

Yarm?

 

[Zamracene749]

me123 has it, Yarm.

militar(y arm)y station is found here

 

[me123]

I had to look at that a few times before I saw it, but I knew it was something like that! Couldn't get Lympstone Commando out of my head!

This is probably an easy one, but:

Lost your marbles, Nigel?

 

[DasLunatic]

Margate?

 

[DaleCooper]

Elgin?

 

[me123]

Dale has it. Only took 9 minutes! I'm not the best at writing these clues.

Your floor.

 

[Zamracene749]

Elgin- Oops too slow!

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

A station rebuilt on the Llanrwst highway
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
...

Hint:

This station is not in Wales

 

[Zamracene749]

I'm not convinced, but is it Freshford? Fresh for rebuilt, ffordd is road in Welsh...

 

[DaleCooper]

A good bit of lateral thinking that almost convinced me there were two possible answers but then I noticed there are an "f" and a "d" left over, so no it's not Freshford.

Another hint:

At its opening in 1998 the local men might have been merry.

 

[cadoxton]

Langwith-Whaley Thorns

 

[DaleCooper]

Langwith-Whaley Thorns

That's the one. I had to check the anagram about a dozen times because I couldn't believe my luck.

Over to you...

 

[cadoxton]

Elder includes wireless tech heads

 

[backontrack]

Newton-le-Willows?

 

[cadoxton]

Sorry, it's not the correct answer.
