Cryptic clues = station name

[Wilts Wanderer]

On Friday night I found myself south of the river, got into a nasty bar row. Haven't a clue how I got home in one piece!

 

[DaleCooper]

I guess someone will be gutted by their near miss

Even nearer and more gutted than you think - I had a feeling there was a station called Gatestone but I couldn't find one.

 

[Karl]

Frinton-on-sea?

 

[DaleCooper]

Barrow Haven?

 

[DaleCooper]

It looks like Wilts Wanderer is still in the pub so I'm claiming the floor.

Next clue:

Hotelo

 

[Karl]

Hotelo

I'm loving this one. It's going to be different. I've been trying all day. Here's where I'm at. Am I warm?....

HOT = Henley-on-Thames
ELO = Elton and Orston

I can't seem to see anything there...

Next guess is....

HO = Holbeck
TE = Thornaby
LO = Longsight

... still struggling but I keep trying...

Hotelo a French/Belgian type of hotel? Still in a kerfuffle...

Let me think.....

 

[DaleCooper]

Am I warm?

Not at all.

Here's some hints:

It's nothing to do with Othel(l)o, in case anyone thought it might be.
Station codes aren't relevant.
Experience in the armed forces or police might help.

 

[Seacook]

Not at all.

Here's some hints:

That last was too much of a hint: I immediately thought of Hoscar and then checked to see if it existed. [Open floor.]

 

[DaleCooper]

That last was too much of a hint: I immediately thought of Hoscar and then checked to see if it existed. [Open floor.]

A lot of people didn't think so, anyway I don't like it to drag out to long.

To sum up Hotel (H) + O (Oscar) = Hoscar.

Seacook says "Open floor".

Sue's mate's an officer at this station, we hear

 

[Karl]

Meols Cop?

 

[johnnychips]

Fantastic!

If you didn't get it:

Sue's mate = Mel from the Bake Off programme
's = 's
Officer = Cop
Mel's cop - 'we hear' = sounds like

so:
Meols Cop

Your go!

 

[Karl]

Nice one. Thanks.

A thousand in the march.

[me123]

Easterhouse?

 

[DaleCooper]

Easterhouse?

Sorry, it's not that.

 

[DaleCooper]

I'm surprised none of you railway enthusiasts has got this one, here's a hint:

It's in Southern England.

 

[Wilts Wanderer]

Just to confirm, my earlier clue was indeed Barrow Haven , apologies for dropping off the grid, well done to Dale Cooper. I must have fallen asleep under the table

 

[Karl]

How about Bitterne?

 

[DaleCooper]

How about Bitterne?

Yes it is Bitterne, I'm sure I don't need to explain it.

Your turn...

 

[Karl]

Yes it is Bitterne, I'm sure I don't need to explain it.
