Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

Braystones?

 

[Karl]

Is indeed correct!

(Braystones and Nethertown are on my list this year. I'd love to walk along the beach around the coast from Sellafield to St. Bees. Is it possible?)

Dale's floor.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

The parish in which occultist, poet, novelist and mountaineer Aleister Crowley registered his children's births.

 

[Calthrop]

Next clue:

The parish in which occultist, poet, novelist and mountaineer Aleister Crowley registered his children's births.

Hoping, DC, that this might be a bluff on your part -- monstrously long-and-elaborate rigmarole concealing something very short and simple: Crowle?

 

[Seacook]

Too uncomplicated, probably. I think it's Rowley Regis.

 

[DaleCooper]

You're right that my rigmorality (I just coined that) was intended to conceal although not something as short and simple as Crowley however your answer is perfectly valid and I'm not going to use the old "not what I meant" excuse, instead I'll say "Well done, It's your turn".

Oops, nearly forgot, the intended answer was:

The parish in which occultist, poet, novelist and mountaineer Aleister CRowley Registered his children's births.

 

[DaleCooper]

Too uncomplicated, probably. I think it's Rowley Regis.

Sorry I was typing when you posted and I've already awarded the honours to Calthrop.

 

[Seacook]

Sorry I was typing when you posted and I've already awarded the honours to Calthrop.

Fair enough. I realised you had seen my reply and I support your decision. (My typing is getting slower and slower.)

 

[DaleCooper]

I've just realised that the outcome may be a bit confused due to overlapping posts so to clarify Calthrop is correct as below.

Hoping, DC, that this might be a bluff on your part -- monstrously long-and-elaborate rigmarole concealing something very short and simple: Crowle?

Calthrop it's your turn...

 

[Calthrop]

To adopt our transatlantic friends’ parlance: well, gee, guys, thanks – these run-on-word doohickeys sure can be a bear (I set one such one time, quite unaware that I’d included another, unrealised and unseen station).

So: How Fritz, writing to Jock, might render a unit of measurement

Markinch?

 

[Calthrop]

Markinch?

You're thinking in the right direction; but it's not this station.

 

[Karl]

Altrincham?

 

[Calthrop]

Altrincham?

Subtly thought; but wrong, I'm afraid.

 

[duncanp]

How about Insch on the Aberdeen to Inverness line?

 

[Springs Branch]

Dockyard ?

 

[Calthrop]

How about Insch on the Aberdeen to Inverness line?

Correct -- your floor.

Dockyard ?

As above -- no -- sorry ! (Was your reasoning, "doch" [German emphasis-word]+ yard?)

 

[duncanp]

Next clue is politically rather topical:-

So, locate whingeing about brexit arrangements.

 

[DaleCooper]

Exhibition Centre (Glasgow)?

 

[duncanp]

Yes it is Exhibition Centre (Glasgow), being an anagram of So locate whingeing and brexit


I thought it would last a bit longer than that.

 

[DaleCooper]

I thought it would last a bit longer than that.

The "x" in Brexit helped to reduce the number of possibilities.

Next clue:

A station constructed from those things that don't easily fall over.

 

[DaleCooper]

Hint:

Managed by EMT.

 

[duncanp]

Whatstandwell?

 

[Karl]

'Weebles wobble but they don't fall down' is all I've got so far. Am I warm?

EDIT: Oops too late. Nice one DuncanP

 

[DaleCooper]

'Weebles wobble but they don't fall down' is all I've got so far. Am I warm?

I was afraid that someone would dig up an obscure station called Weeble on a preserved line somewhere.

Whatstandwell?

That is correct, well done.

You turn...

 

[duncanp]

Next clue

A method of house purchase, which is particularly useful in the Manchester area.

 

[me123]

Sale?

 

[duncanp]

It isn't Sale, but it is elsewhere on the Manchester Metrolink.

You can't get there from Sale without changing trams.

 

[A Challenge]

Exchange Square

(not Sale Water Park)

 

[duncanp]

No it isn't Exchange Square.

Try going towards Oldham and Rochdale.
