Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

Earlswood?

Gee, buddy, that's about the size of it -- Earlswood (West Midlands) -- as opposed to Earlswood (Surrey). Your floor.

 

[DanTrain]

Thanks, that one was hard!

A small child once entered a chaotic fenland city.

 

[neilmc]

Kidwelly?

 

[DanTrain]

No, not that.

The way in which this infant entered the city is important.

 

[neilmc]

Think we need another clue, Dan

 

[DanTrain]

What might a toddler enter something through? The city refers to an actual Fenland city, of which 'chaoitc' refers to an anagram of it.

 

[neilmc]

I'll have another guess - Wombwell?

 

[DanTrain]

Sorry, this is quite hard.

It’s a xxxx & xxxx station, where the first part is to do with what one may enter through.

 

[DanTrain]

Duplicate post - deleted.

 

[neilmc]

Think I have it at last -

Dore and Totley

Dore = door
Tot = small child
Ley = anagram of Ely

 

[DanTrain]

Yes, well done. Sorry, that was harder than perhaps meant! Your floor

 

[neilmc]

Last survivor of Botanic Gardens stayin' alive; if lucky, may be well-preserved!

 

[GusB]

Barry Docks?

 

[neilmc]

Yes Gus that's it - Barry or Barry Docks. (Botanic Gardens code = BG, and Barry Gibb is the last of the Bee Gees). Your turn.

 

[GusB]

Open floor, please.

Even the boy rode, we heard, at this station

Harling Road?

 

[johnnychips]

Harling Road?

Sorry, no. It is two words though.

 

[Calthrop]

Harrow Road? Or am I on the wrong track, "rode / Road"-wise?

 

[johnnychips]

It's like a road - and think golf for the first bit of the clue!

 

[Calthrop]

Parson Street?

 

[johnnychips]

That's the one!

Even = par
Boy = son
Rode = sounds like a street

 

[Calthrop]

That's the one!

Even = par
Boy = son
Rode = sounds like a street

Thanks -- seems I know more about golf, than I thought ! My go, I take it:

Serb: "Ocean curry -- euw !" (in mess, while pursuing the sport of kings).

 

[neilmc]

I think it's another big anagram - of Newbury Racecourse

 

[Calthrop]

Indeed it is, sir -- as first past the post, the floor is yours.

 

[neilmc]

Essential when waiting at isolated Lincolnshire stations in winter?

 

[Calthrop]

Struggling and getting nowhere... I thought of Winteringham, in what at least used to be the far north of Lincolnshire, but that closed back in 1925 ...

 

[neilmc]

OK, it's a current station in Lincolnshire, and might be something worn to keep the cold out!

 

[DanTrain]

Great Coates?

 

[neilmc]

Dan's the man again! Your turn ...
