Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

Blind guess, just to try something -- Henley-in-Arden?

 

[Esker-pades]

It isn't that. This one requires quite a few leaps to be made. (What sort of things would one do in a garden etc.)

 

[Esker-pades]

Sorry, I think I've made too many leaps here.

It's been a bit dry, so I'm going to pop into the garden with the washing up.

Think on the following things:
What is involved with washing up?
Why would one go into the garden with it?
What does one do in the garden (especially after it has been dry)?

 

[GusB]

Is it Port Sunlight?

 

[Esker-pades]

Is it Port Sunlight?

It isn't Port Sunlight.

 

[Calthrop]

It's got to be "something...water". Without any clear idea why, I'm going to have a shot with: Greenhithe for Bluewater

Warmer.

It is Water...something.

 

[Calthrop]

I'm blessed if I can make anything out of the National Rail "usual suspects". Is it on something other than the National Rail network?

 

[Esker-pades]

It is on the National Rail network.

 

[Calthrop]

Call me a dummy, then - I got nothin' !

 

[GusB]

Warmer.

It is Water...something.

I think it's time we were put out of our misery. I will have one final guess - Wateringbury

Watering is something one would do in the garden when it has been a bit dry, subject to local hosepipe bans of course. I'm not sure how this would relate to washing-up, though.

Wateringbury is correct!

To explain, I frequently use waste-water from the washing-up during dry seasons to water the garden (including berries). I originally thought that that was a "standard" thing to do. I have since re-evaluated that view.

 

[GusB]

My usual garden activity in hot weather is to grab a sun lounger and a cold beer, but to each their own

Open floor please!

 

[Calthrop]

Felix -- I'd never have got Wateringbury; but by general agreement, anyway, Sam Gamgee I certainly ain't.

With it being open floor --

On sheriff's enemy's route, confounded -- hollars "why newt-hating?"

 

[DanTrain]

Langwith-Whaley Thorns?

 

[Calthrop]

Thou hast it rightly, fair sir -- on the Robin Hood (Sheriff's enemy) Line, and an anagram.

Your floor.

 

[DanTrain]

Thanks

Molten cheese and lawnmowers... how not to make a classic English meal!

 

[Calthrop]

One takes it, anagram of "cheese and lawnmowers": looks as though it should make a long station name in Wales, but I son't seem to be finding any such.

Not really, there is an anagram, but of a much shorter word. Some lateral thinking may be required here... Also, think about what one may do with a lawnmower.

 

[Esker-pades]

Melton Mowbray?

 

[DanTrain]

Melton Mowbray?

Indeed - Molten -> Melton, Lawnmower -> Mow, Cheese -> Brie -> Bray, and the classic meal is obvious now

 

[Esker-pades]

And, behold! The entrance has risen.

 

[Esker-pades]

Sorry for the delay: I have slightly edited the original clue, which I hope will be make things a bit easier.

 

[Calthrop]

I was thinking it was anagrams again (and getting nowhere); looks like I was wrong there again !

 

[DanTrain]

And, behold! The entrance has risen.

Dorking?

 

[Esker-pades]

Dorking?

Not Dorking.

 

[neilmc]

Strood?

 

[Esker-pades]

Strood?

Not Strood.

CLUE: It's further north than the guesses have been so far.

 

[Esker-pades]

Further clue:
It is to do with synonyms. Think literally. Not sure what else to say at the moment.

Also, as I said before, the station is quite a bit further north from the answers given so far.

 

[FQ]

Newark Northgate?
