Altnabreac is correct! Your floor Duncan

Is a double-station clue allowed (I might not be questioning it if I knew the answer however )

 

[duncanp]

I wasn't aware of a rule preventing double station clues.

If anyone gets one of the stations, they can have the floor.

One of the stations is in Scotland, which helps the sentence make sense.

 

[DaleCooper]

Is a double-station clue allowed

Why not? It adds a bit of variety.

If anyone gets one of the stations, they can have the floor.

If they get both can they have the walls and ceiling as well?

 

[Wilts Wanderer]

Ayr and Ascot?

 

[duncanp]

Yes it is Ayr and Ascot.

I was going to give a clue saying that you could have substituted Nicola Sturgeon with Donald Duck and the answer wouldn't change (not trying to make a political joke ) but you beat me to it.

 

[Wilts Wanderer]

Open floor.

What I heard at the start of Baker Street with the Italian, next to this station.

 

[Calthrop]

I'd be tempted to suggest Blaby -- but unfortunately, that's closed.

 

[Seacook]

What I heard at the start of Baker Street with the Italian, next to this station.

This could be Saxilby. Open floor if it is.

 

[johnnychips]

It is and sorry so late with replying

All but a night and a day, gone by: time for a hint. Corny jokes department: this location is in an area where there's a popular "old chestnut" about said area's containing "seven wonders". Our station is on part of a rail route which used to link three of said wonders.
