Cryptic clues = station name

[Esker-pades]

Ardgay?

Yes!
(Ardgay is pronounced "ard-guy"; 'ard guy; Hard Guy.)

 

[Calthrop]

Yes!
(Ardgay is pronounced "ard-guy"; 'ard guy; Hard Guy.)

I had no idea: was -- pretty much in the dark -- proceeding along the lines of "he's 'a gentleman who prefers gentlemen'; but he's 'ard". What with this; and Milngavie pronounced "mill-guy"; these Scots, they crazy !

On main line to the north, bell-note separates badmouthed German and Spaniard.

Huntingdon?

 

[Calthrop]

Huntingdon it is. neilmc, your floor.

Here's a topical one:

Lib Dem won this time around - may serve well in July?

 

[GusB]

Wimbledon?

 

[neilmc]

Gus is right of course - your turn!

What a fantastic clue!

 

[GusB]

This station is where one might wish to dispose of some agricultural land.

 

[johnnychips]

Hadfield?

 

[Calthrop]

Sellafield?

 

[GusB]

Hadfield?

It was very close, and would have been acceptable with a slight change to the wording of the clue, however...

Sellafield?

... is the answer I was looking for. The floor is yours, Cathrop.

 

[Calthrop]

Thanks.

England's northern neighbour enters the picture again -- imagine an unpleasant bigot from south of the border, with a regrettable habit of pouring boiling water on those from north thereof.

 

[John Griffiths]

Scotscalder?

 

[Calthrop]

Correct ! Your floor.

 

[John Griffiths]

Neither continued to chew at this station.

Norbiton?

 

[John Griffiths]

That didn't last long! Well done Calthrop. Your question

 

[Calthrop]

My thanks.

Venue some two decades old deconstructs why Bombay named

Hint: it's on a heritage railway.

 

[Calthrop]

Further hint: Henry VIII would have disapproved.

 

[johnnychips]

Something with Abbey?

 

[Calthrop]

Yes, indeed. Station and passenger terminal -- opened 1999, I think -- on a heritage line, a short distance up the line, from its former junction station; which is still operational, on operational main line. Former junction station is "*****", "answer station" is "***** Abbey". All on lines of the one-time Great Eastern Railway.

 

[Esker-pades]

Wymondham Abbey?

 

[Calthrop]

Wymondham Abbey?

Wymondham Abbey (Mid-Norfolk Railway) it is (anagram of "why Bombay named"). Your floor.

 

[Esker-pades]

Possibly too obscure, but have a go at this:

The Penguins didn't shoot: no weapons and under the influence of drugs.

 

[John Griffiths]

Could we have a clue, please, Felix?

 

[Esker-pades]

Of course!

So, "penguins" is the key here. Once you've worked out what that translates too, remove anything to do with weaponry and add some slang for being under the influence of drugs.

 

[GusB]

This one is rather obscure. Removing "gun" from "penguins" gives a word that the forum software might disapprove of, but if they're smoking the green stuff, would Penistone(d) be the answer?

Is absolutely right.
