Cryptic clues = station name

[Karl]

Dalston?

 

[DaleCooper]

Dalston?

Dalston's not in Scotland, is it?

 

[Calthrop]

Blantyre?? (Only because of the "tyre" bit.)

 

[DaleCooper]

Blantyre?? (Only because of the "tyre" bit.)

Good thinking and the right country but not quite there.

 

[Karl]

Dalston's not in Scotland, is it?

Geographically no, but it's mostly found in Scotland anagrammatically (minus the 'c')

I couldn't make it fit with the original clue though!

 

[DaleCooper]

Another hint:

 

[DaleCooper]

.
...and another:

This station is on the Glasgow South Western Line.

 

[Karl]

Dunlop?

 

[DaleCooper]

Dunlop?

Dunlop is the correct answer, your turn...

 

[Karl]

Yay! Thank you.

It was thanks to Calthrop's guess and the GSW line clue that helped.

I'm away all day tomorrow so I'll throw open the floor.

 

[Calthrop]

I'll set one, if I may.

Clean bill of health for animal-husbandry operative at heritage line contact point?

 

[Zamracene749]

Shepherds Well?

 

[Calthrop]

Shepherds Well?

Correct -- your floor !

 

[Zamracene749]

Locomotive designer with high power fitted into store gets you to this station

 

[A Challenge]

Bristol Temple Meads

 

[Zamracene749]

No, not Bristol Temple Meads

 

[DaleCooper]

Riddlesdown?

 

[DasLunatic]

Claude Hamilton?

 

[Zamracene749]

Not Riddlesdown.

Clue

The locomotive designer in question produced both steam and electric railway engines...some of the steam ones might even have reached this station late in their lives....
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Not Hamilton either...

 

[Stormchaser213]

Swindon?

 

[DaleCooper]

Fairbourne?

 

[Zamracene749]

Nope, not Swindon or Fairbourne.

This station is on the Northern (NT) network.......also the high power referred to in the clue could just as easily be horse power, or sauce, or a well known printer producer......

 

[Karl]

Scunthorpe?

 

[Zamracene749]

No, not Scunthorpe..

 

[DaleCooper]

In desperation I've resorted to a sledgehammer to crack this one and come up with:

Ravensthorpe?

 

[Zamracene749]

In desperation I've resorted to a sledgehammer to crack this one and come up with:

Ravensthorpe?

Good shot with that sledge

Ravensthorpe is correct- Sir Vincent Raven, the NER loco engineer who gave us the mighty Q6 and also the EF1 locos used on the Shildon- Teesside 1500v DC line.

add to that store, with h andp in it gives us Ravensthorpe. I thought it was an easy one!

 

[DaleCooper]

Good shot with that sledge

Not really, it's a laser guided sledgehammer.

Next clue:

The scenery may be beautiful but the station's building is no effing tableau.

 

[Zamracene749]

Blaenau Ffestiniog?

 

[DaleCooper]

Blaenau Ffestiniog?

Where else? I thought it might be obvious but I liked the anagram.

Your turn...

 

[Zamracene749]

The Welsh language stations are the hardest ones to clue IMO anyway,

I hear Edward smiles at orient?
