Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

The result of a beaver on a small river; ending forest?

Apologies if this is a bad clue, as I suspect it is!

Don't know about bad -- difficult, certainly ... despairing attempt -- process of arriving at which, I'll keep quiet about -- Kidsgrove???

You may want to keep quiet about it but I can deduce what prurient thought process led to that answer.

 

[Calthrop]

Dirty minds think alike...

 

[A Challenge]

It isn't, but it is good you adapted that saying Calthrop...

 

[Calthrop]

Just struck me very belatedly -- it couldn't be Beverley, I suppose?

 

[DaleCooper]

Kintbury?

Station code KIT (Kit - a young beaver)
Kintbury station is adjacent to a small river - the Kennet
There's probably a forest nearby

All this is more in hope of prompting a hint than expectation of being correct.

 

[DaleCooper]

Alternatively Abergavenny - anagram of beaver and ngyna*

*Ngyna (Bantu) - a stream at the edge of a forest

 

[DaleCooper]

Castlerock (Co. Londonderry)

Anagram of Castor (Beaver genus) and Leck (Leck Beck is a watercourse in Lancashire)

(BTW I was lying about "Ngyna")

 

[A Challenge]

Sorry for not replying sooner - it is none of them!

Brookwood

The Brook is the small river, and then the wood is a small forest, or the beaver will put wood in the river.

OPEN FLOOR

Brookwood

The Brook is the small river, and then the wood is a small forest, or the beaver will put wood in the river.

So the beaver puts an end to the forest, by gnawing its trees down so that they fall into the river? (Just trying to get my head round it.)

(This isn't a new "entry" -- just requesting clarification of A Challenge's one !)

 

[A Challenge]

The breaver puts the wood into a brook.

 

[Calthrop]

The breaver puts the wood into a brook.

Thanks -- I see (I think) !

It's open floor: so --

Sam's car vacates a location on a south - north main line

 

[A Challenge]

Carlisle

 

[Calthrop]

Not Carlisle, I'm afraid.

 

[Calthrop]

Sam's car vacates a location on a south - north main line

Hint: this concerns not merely "a south - north main line"; but one between The South and The North.

 

[DaleCooper]

Scarva?

 

[Calthrop]

Scarva it is ! Your floor.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

Halifax, a former politician.

 

[Karl]

Bank Hall?

 

[DaleCooper]

Bank Hall?

You might be on the right track, can you explain how you arrived at that?

 

[Karl]

You might be on the right track, can you explain how you arrived at that?

I'm not hopeful, and it's a bit obtuse, but here goes...

Halifax = Bank
Former Politician for Bedford = Patrick Hall?

 

[DaleCooper]

I'm not hopeful, and it's a bit obtuse, but here goes...

Halifax = Bank
Former Politician for Bedford = Patrick Hall?

You've caught me out! My answer was Bank Foot (Michael Foot, former Labour leader) but Bank Hall works just as well.

Your turn...

 

[Karl]

Good one. You should've left it open.

I feel guilty, plus I'm struggling to come up with a clue.

I'll have to throw the floor open.

 

[Calthrop]

I'll go if I may:

Religious outfit charitably and indiscriminately furnishing assistance to rail climbers in need thereof?

 

[DaleCooper]

Albany Park?

 

[Calthrop]

Not Albany Park (would be interested to know how you came up with that one !)

Hint: what substance is poured onto rails in front of a train, to allow its wheels to get a better grip?

 

[DaleCooper]

Not Albany Park (would be interested to know how you came up with that one !)

Alb - priest's garment (religious outfit)
any - indiscriminately
park - ???

Better idea - Kirk Sandall

 

[Calthrop]

Alb - priest's garment (religious outfit)
any - indiscriminately
park - ???

Ah, of course -- we've had priestly albs before, with Albrighton.

Better idea - Kirk Sandall

Correct -- the next corporal work of mercy is yours.

 

[DaleCooper]

Ah, of course -- we've had priestly albs before, with Albrighton.

Yes, it was one of mine.

Next clue:

This station is the beginning and the end for a hitchhiker.
