Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

Fair enough.

[Just out of interest perhaps - Cyre is thought to derive from the Antioch-based 4c. child martyr Quriagnos; and I had at the back of my muddled mind the gruesome legend of how his mother, Julietta, did not weep at her son's death but rejoiced that he had earned the crown of martyrdom. Hey ho!]

Interesting theme indeed running through, of things which ordinary folk would most likely regret; being regarded quite otherwise by less-ordinary ones !

Next clue:

The station in whose pub the barmen twist lemon in the cocktails.

Entwistle?

 

[DaleCooper]

Entwistle?

Entirely correct, your turn...

 

[Karl]

I hope this one works

I don't suppose any of these are acceptable, are they?

Weston Nightwarren
New Harrington West
Winterton Grenshaw

Yes, I do have too much time on my hands.

I like them! Stations of the future perhaps? Unfortunately not correct today.

Would another hint be useful to anyone?

 

[Calthrop]

I've done no better so far than "North Wrains Twenge"; so I wouldn't at all mind another hint...

 

[DasLunatic]

We have...
2xA
4xE
2xG
2xH
2xI
6XN
2xO
4xR
2xS
4xT
4xW

Using some of those letters, I can make Shotton and Westenhanger... are those correct?

I think the first answer is Wigan North Western and the second Wigan North Western.

Open floor, if it's either of these.

'Aw a new stronger hint', a third anagram, wasn't needed then?

Nice one Seacook. Both answers are correct.

Open floor it is.

 

[DasLunatic]

Excellent clue Karl, let's have more like that.

Well done Seacook

 

[Calthrop]

See Fibonacci's trains near the edge

Lenzie?? (Fibonacci aka Leonard of Pisa; Lenz = "Len's"; ie = they're "Len's-y" -- sorta-kinda his trains, near the edge of being so, but not completely so?)

 

[DasLunatic]

It's not in Scotland.

Perhaps a slight rewording may help:
See Fibonacci's trains at the digit repeated thrice

 

[Calthrop]

The "digit repeated thrice" bit sounds mathematical -- which kind of stuff is pure Harry Potter to me. No-one else seems to be biting; and you haven't said that the "Len / Leonard" angle is incorrect: so I'll keep on with that, by elimination. Lenham?

 

[DasLunatic]

It has nothing to do with historical figures - just the mathematics.

 

[DaleCooper]

The only thing I can think of is that you're referring to Classes 55, 144 and 377 which are Fibonacci numbers with repeating digits. Am I even slightly warm?

The Fibonacci numbers part is correct, but the repeating numbers relate to a line.

 

[cadoxton]

Penistone?

Its on a high ridge (or edge).
One of the 144s is named 'Penistone Line'

 

[DasLunatic]

Penistone?

It's not Penistone.

Note I said 'thrice' and mentioned a geographical line.

 

[DaleCooper]

55°14′N 4°37′7"W appear to be the coordinates of Sally Pollock's Bridge in South Ayrshire - but there ain't no railway there.

 

[DasLunatic]

It's not a co-ordinate.

I think I may have been too vague - do you want me to reveal the answer?

 

[DaleCooper]

The usual thing is to give ever more revealing hints until someone gets it.

 

[DasLunatic]

Very well - think train classes.

 

[cadoxton]

Anything to do with the Meridians 222 ?

 

[Seacook]

Anything to do with the Meridians 222 ?

Could be - that would indicate a line. Perhaps it is Greenwich?

 

[DasLunatic]

377s don't go past Greenwich, do they?

 

[Karl]

Three Bridges?

 

[DaleCooper]

Classes 144 and 377 were built at Derby.

 

[Seacook]

377s don't go past Greenwich, do they?

I have no idea. Is it relevant?
