Cryptic clues = station name

[A Challenge]

Swinton?

 

[duncanp]

It isn't Swinton.

Hint : the chemical symbol for sulphur is S and the station I am thinking of is in the South East of England.

 

[DaleCooper]

Basildon - Baildon?

 

[duncanp]

Yes. The answer is Basildon.

If you remove S (the chemical symbol for sulphur) from Basildon you get Baildon

Your turn

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

"You're a diamond me ol' china, top man!" might be heard here.

 

[Calthrop]

London Fields?

 

[DaleCooper]

London Fields?

No, more specific than that.

 

[cadoxton]

Meols Cop?

 

[DaleCooper]

Meols Cop?

I had a WTF moment when I first saw that, then the penny dropped. Good try but it doesn't use all parts of the clue.

 

[DaleCooper]

Need a hint?

Served by Southern and London Overground

 

[DaleCooper]

They might also say "It's clear our analogue TV system is excellent."

 

[me123]

Crystal Palace?

 

[DaleCooper]

Crystal Palace?

That's the one, your turn...

 

[Calthrop]

Crystal Palace?

That's the one, your turn...

I looked at Crystal Palace, and thought, "no, it's got to be more complicated than that" (now, I get it ...) -- I'm really not all that good at this lark !

 

[me123]

Lenny's friend visits Cumbrae, perhaps?

 

[Calthrop]

Lenny's friend visits Cumbrae, perhaps?

Clydebank??? (Is there or was there maybe some bank with, somehow, a friend called Lenny -- or vice versa?)

 

[me123]

Nope.

 

[DaleCooper]

Barry Island?

 

[me123]

Nope. I'll give you a clue (which Dale has probably worked out already) - "Cumbrae" could be replaced by a large number of other words - Wight, Arran, Mull...

 

[Karl]

Carlisle?

 

[me123]

Karl is correct.

Lenny's friend in "The Simpsons" is Carl. And "Cumbrae" referred to an Isle.

Take it away.

 

[Karl]

Oops, thanks me123, a lucky guess from me as I'm not really a big Simpsons fan.

A station right in between the two of 'em?

 

[Calthrop]

Lenny's friend in "The Simpsons" is Carl.

I was utterly at sea -- re "The Simpsons", I know only the actual family members...

A station right in between the two of 'em?

Borth?

 

[me123]

Sorry - I had thought that the Simpsons was well enough entrenched into popular culture that my reference would have been understood. I need more practice with cryptic clues!

 

[Karl]

Borth is correct! Your floor Calthrop.

 

[Calthrop]

Sorry - I had thought that the Simpsons was well enough entrenched into popular culture that my reference would have been understood. I need more practice with cryptic clues!

Per me, no worries -- I self-confessedly live under a rock !

Thanks, Karl. Next clue:

Century-ago trendy lads; musical vigour; and last of way-up-north several-barrelled station name -- combine at this (not extreme-northerly) station

 

[A Challenge]

Georgemas Junction

 

[Calthrop]

Georgemas Junction

Nope. Please note, clue says that the answer is a station which is not in the extreme north.

 

[A Challenge]

I thought it was not northern extremes

 

[DaleCooper]

Teds + Brio + (Bridge of) Allan = Llanbister Road

Although it really needs another "R".
