Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

Berney Arms?

That's not it.

 

[duncanp]

Stepps?

If you were drunk, you might very well fall down on a staircase.

 

[DaleCooper]

Stepps?

If you were drunk, you might very well fall down on a staircase.

It's not Stepps, a less literal reading of the clue would be helpful.

 

[neilmc]

Perry Barr?

 

[backontrack]

Tiverton Parkway?

 

[DaleCooper]

Perry Barr?

Still too literal.

Tiverton Parkway?

Not that either.

Hint: This station is in Wales.

 

[backontrack]

Conwy?

 

[DanTrain]

Barmouth?

 

[neilmc]

Llandaf? (anagram of 'and fall')

 

[DaleCooper]

Llandaf? (anagram of 'and fall')

That's correct, your turn...

 

[neilmc]

Sat out of Sale West, it's a dangerous place to be a guy!

 

[duncanp]

Lewes? as in "....Sat out of Sale west...", and it is a dangerous place to be a guy on the fireworks display on November 5th.

 

[neilmc]

Very well done duncanp, no clue required. Lewes is indeed the answer for exactly those reasons.

 

[duncanp]

Another seasonal clue:-

Honest, Santa seen a little bit sozzled after having one too many glasses of sherry.

 

[backontrack]

Cheriton? (sherry-ton)

 

[duncanp]

No it is not Cheriton.

 

[backontrack]

Is it an anagram of 'honest santa seen'? Or is that too big a clue to give away?

 

[duncanp]

Actually it is an anagram of honest Santa seen, so that has virtually given it away.

I thought the clue would last longer than five minutes.

Don't worry, I have no idea of how to go about working this one out

 

[Calthrop]

St Annes-on-the-Sea? Open floor if correct.

 

[duncanp]

It is St Annes On The Sea.

As it is open floor, I will try:-

Afternoons in seaside resort are spoilt by a bit of bad weather.

 

[johnnychips]

Polesworth?

 

[duncanp]

No it isn't Polesworth.

 

[Karl]

Portsmouth & Southsea?

 

[duncanp]

It isn't Portsmouth And Southsea.

Hint - the answer is an anagram of two of the words in the clue.

 

[duncanp]

Another hint : If the weather was bad in this seaside resort you could spend some time in the pub. Note the emphasis on the pub, rather than a pub.

 

[neilmc]

Frinton-on-Sea? I do recall it being famous for having NO pubs until recently. Can't get the bad weather reference though.

 

[duncanp]

Frinton On Sea is correct, being an anagram of Afternoons in.

Your turn.

 

[neilmc]

How about:

A Deltic crashed at this city station, whilst Brit 49 runs nearby.

 

[Calthrop]

Carlisle (Citadel)? (Used to be called that, at all events.)
