Next clue:-

An appropriate place outside Yorkshire to sing "On Ilkley Moor Baht' at", or at this time of year "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night"

 

[A Challenge]

Shepherds Well?

 

[duncanp]

No it is not Shepherds Well.

There are direct trains to this station from the previous answer (Whitchurch), but I won't say which one, for the time being at least.

 

[duncanp]

Time for a hint.

The tune for "On Ilkley Moor Baht' at", was actually written as a hymn tune, which can also be used for While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night. The name of this hymn tune is the station I am thinking of, which is served by direct trains from Whitchurch (Hants)

 

[DanTrain]

Winchester?

 

[A Challenge]

That has no trains to Whitchurch?

 

[duncanp]

No it isn't Winchester.

You can get to the station I am thinking of by a direct train from Whitchurch (the previous answer) and I don't think there are direct trains from Whitchurch to Winchester.
