Newport

...but that seems too easy.

 

[cadoxton]

What - 142009 and 142010?

Anyways...

Is this port old? Nay, Ray! In fact, sea commandos are here - like trains, they don't stop.

for sea commandos I can't see beyond Fishguard, and of the two stations in the town, my guess would be:

Fishguard Harbour?

 

[backontrack]

It's not Fishguard.

I'll refine my clue a bit, methinks.

[DaleCooper]

Llanrwst?

 

[backontrack]

Nope.

CLUE: I'm south of the signals.

 

[Gutfright]

Pembroke Dock?

 

[backontrack]

Nope.

 

[DaleCooper]

Nope.

I think the time has come for a bit more than a "Nope".

 

[backontrack]

Look three posts above yours.

I saw that yesterday, it's clear that we are struggling with this one so if you don't want the thread to stagnate and everyone lose interest another hint would be wise.

 

[backontrack]

This station is also a REQUEST STOP. The clue requires a bit of jiggling around; look at negatives and their implications.

Llangammarch?

 

[Zamracene749]

Ferryside?

 

[backontrack]

Llangammarch?

Also wrong, but this is the closest answer so far.

Ferryside?

This is also a good answer. My station is somewhere in between these two.

CLUE: Think about the word 'commando' and its meanings.

 

[DaleCooper]

Pontarddulais?

 

[backontrack]

Correct!

Your floor.

Here's the original clue:

Is this port old? Nay, Ray! In fact, sea commandos are here - like trains, they don't stop.[/QUOTE]

Let's look at this:

Is this port old? Nay, Ray!

The 'Nay, Ray' bit means that the letters R, A and Y aren't meant to be in this bit, so we remove them, leaving:

"Is this pot old? N!"

Which we can adjust to read:

"Is this Pont old?"

As for commandos (which was the Marine bit as I tried to make it sound like Newhaven Marine), the word commando means, colloquially, 'to go without underwear'. The next stop north of Pontarddulais is Pantyffynnon. Pantyffynnon also has the Heart of Wales Line's signal box. As for 'going without', Pontarddulais is a request stop, meaning that not all trains stop there. It's more than a bit contrived, but at least we got there eventually.

 

[DaleCooper]

Correct!

Most illuminating.

No it's not Bristol Temple Meads.

 

[Zamracene749]

Hairmyres?

 

[DaleCooper]

Hairmyres?

Correct - anagram of rhymes + air

I thought it would last longer than that but it's difficult to pull the wool over your eyes.

As you've ended the clue with a question mark can I use the homophone of erne (sea eagle) to get Fearn?
