Cryptic clues = station name

[A Challenge]

Welshpool

 

[Seacook]

No it isn't Corby, but you are right about conceals.

In that case I'll try Bynea with some confidence.

A lot of English people have second homes in Wales, if that helps.

Not really, no.

 

[duncanp]

It is Bynea.

Your turn.

 

[Seacook]

The Spanish spirit

 

[Calthrop]

Elgin?

 

[Seacook]

Elgin?

Quite right. Over to you.

 

[Calthrop]

Quite right. Over to you.

Thanks.

Large bird owned by small bird?

 

[DaleCooper]

Martins Heron?

 

[Calthrop]

Martins Heron is correct. Your floor Dale Cooper.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

I've got a fractured skull and feel dizzy.

 

[Karl]

Ulleskelf?

Open floor if correct.

 

[DaleCooper]

Ulleskelf?

Open floor if correct.

It is correct therefore it's open floor...

 

[duncanp]

Since it is open floor, I will try

Normal kick destroyed railway station

 

[Karl]

Kilmarnock?

Open floor again

 

[duncanp]

OK.

Lets hope that

Grandiosely hoot then fire in all directions lasts a bit longer than the previous clue.

 

[Trackman]

Burneside?

 

[Wilts Wanderer]

Wootton Wawen?

 

[duncanp]

It is not Burneside or Wooton Wawen.

The station I am thinking of is in London.

 

[me123]

Tooting Broadway?

 

[duncanp]

It isn't Tooting Broadway.

The station is currently closed due to engineering work, but should be re-opening soon.

 

[Wilts Wanderer]

South Tottenham?

 

[duncanp]

It isn't South Tottenham, but you are getting warm.

Just carry on a bit further along the same line, and think anagrams.

 

[Wilts Wanderer]

Leytonstone High Road

If this is the answer, I don't feel I really earned it, so open floor.

 

[duncanp]

Leytonstone High Road

If this is the answer, I don't feel I really earned it, so open floor.

It is the answer, being an anagram of Grandiosely hoot then

I'll let someone else have a go at setting the next clue.

 

[DaleCooper]

If I may...

Next clue:

He wrote a poem about a bird.

 

[DaleCooper]

A slight rephrasing of the clue might help...

He wrote poetry about a large bird.

... and it's in Scotland

 

[me123]

Gleneagles?

(I'm assuming that there is a poet called Glen).

 

[DaleCooper]

Gleneagles?

(I'm assuming that there is a poet called Glen).

Do you mean William Glen the 19th century Scottish poet? If so you're wrong, the answer is not Gleneagles.

 

[Seacook]

A slight rephrasing of the clue might help...

He wrote poetry about a large bird.

... and it's in Scotland

See post number 1693 in this thread. The answer is surely Barrhead.
Open floor, if confirmed.

You know what they say "Fools seldom differ", in my defence #1693 was before I joined the forum. Barrhead is correct, a poet being a bard and a large flightless bird is a rhea. It's open floor...
