What about Partick?

Par = fishing village in Cornwall (a good red herring - I thought the fishing village was in Scotland)
Tick = time

Well done, Partick is the correct answer. Your turn...

 

[duncanp]

OK how about

Hot lawn warms cattle wandering about London all night at weekends

Walthamstow Central
Open floor, if correct/

 

[duncanp]

Walthamstow Central
Open floor, if correct/

Correct - it is an anagram of Hot lawn warms cattle

How about

This station is nearly 500 miles from the place it serves, apparently.

 

[DaleCooper]

Denmark Hill?

 

[duncanp]

No.

The station I am thinking about is in England, but you would think the place it apparently serves is in Scotland.

 

[Calthrop]

No.

The station I am thinking about is in England, but you would think the place it apparently serves is in Scotland.

I went right through the National Rail stations list with that notion in mind, and ??? Am suspecting that the station is not NR (not asking for a hint -- just musing). Further research planned.

 

[duncanp]

The station is definitely a National Rail station, but you wouldn't be able to go there today or on Friday, but you can go there tomorrow.

 

[Calthrop]

Albany Park??

 

[DaleCooper]

Hampden Park?

 

[duncanp]

Yes, Hampden Park is the correct answer.

Your turn now.

Next clue:

Hayle?? (Sounds a good deal like "whale".)

 

[DaleCooper]

Hayle?? (Sounds a good deal like "whale".)

It sounds a bit like "eel" as well but it's not the answer.

 

[Seacook]

Next clue:

This place has a viaduct that is said to resemble a giant sea creature.

Not much inspiration so far, but viaduct suggests something like bridge, so I'll start with Bridge of Orchy since Orchy sounds like orca, the "killer whale", so called.

It's not Bridge of Orchy; that is one I'd considered but rejected because Orchy and Orca aren't quite close enough.

 

[duncanp]

What about Whaley Bridge, on the Manchester to Buxton line?

 

[DaleCooper]

What about Whaley Bridge, on the Manchester to Buxton line?

That's it, your turn...

 

[duncanp]

OK, how about

Vehicles stop at multiple seaside locations, we hear

 

[Seacook]

Very likely to be Carshalton Beeches.

 

[duncanp]

Yes it is Carshalton Beeches.

I thought it would last a bit longer than 10 minutes.

Over to you.

 

[Seacook]

Sperm whale completely gutted to be swallowed by a fish

 

[DaleCooper]

Coseley?

 

[Seacook]

Coseley?

Yes. Removing the "guts" from sperm whale leaves SE which is inserted into COLEY. Over to you.

You can see a thousand near to a horseman at this station.

Riding Mill?

 

[DaleCooper]

Riding Mill?

Good thinking, that almost fits but isn't correct.

 

[Welshman]

West Kilbride?

{Kilo= a thousand, a horseman is a groom, who is next to a bride}

 

[DaleCooper]

West Kilbride?

{Kilo= a thousand, a horseman is a groom, who is next to a bride}

Not West Kilbride, a promising start but went downhill with the groom.

 

[Calthrop]

Kildale?? (The "dale" part: Dale Robertson [1923 - 2013], American actor and expert horseman who played cowboy roles in many Western films in the 1950s and '60s.)
