Cryptic clues = station name

[Calthrop]

Three Bridges?

 

[neilmc]

Three Bridges is of course correct. Apparently Roy Bridge is the station for the village of Roybridge (all one word).

Back to you.

 

[Calthrop]

My thanks !

The whole could sound like: highway featuring noteworthy incidence of bear-related fatalities.

 

[Karl]

New Pudsey?

 

[neilmc]

How about a station close by when I lived in Manchester, Mauldeth Road (maul-death)?

 

[Calthrop]

'Fraid not -- Pudsey, I'm given to understand, is a totally benign bear... (no Winnies / Poohs / Paddingtons / Edwards of any variation, are involved in the clue either).

 

[Calthrop]

We simul-posted ! Your answer is, as it were, dead right. Your floor.

 

[neilmc]

No juicy violent turns on the 68 bus into town

 

[DaleCooper]

Yeovil junction (whence you can catch the 68 bus into Yeovil).

 

[neilmc]

Dale's got it spot on - Yeovil Junction isn't in Yeovil, it's about three miles away.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

Train's in station, Roger's in bog but it's out of order.

 

[John Griffiths]

Oh my giddy aunt!

 

[Strat-tastic]

Roger Waters & loo = Waterloo.

Hmmm....

 

[DaleCooper]

Oh my giddy aunt!

Is that a station? Must be on a preserved line.

Roger Waters & loo = Waterloo.

Hmmm....

Nice idea but no, neither is it Looe.

 

[GusB]

Bognor Regis?

 

[DaleCooper]

Bognor Regis?

That is correct, your turn...

 

[GusB]

Thanks

They play some deadly card games in Northumberland!

 

[DaleCooper]

Gorebridge? (I know it's not in Northumberland)

 

[John Griffiths]

Haydon Bridge?

 

[GusB]

Neither of those, I'm afraid. You've never heard of Lethal Whist?

 

[DaleCooper]

Haltwhistle?

 

[GusB]

Haltwhistle?

That's the one - I should have worded the original clue a bit better, though. Your floor

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

Half an earring found near a cemetery.

 

[Karl]

Gargrave?

 

[DaleCooper]

Gargrave?

No, that's not it.

 

[Calthrop]

Gravesend?? ("end" is roughly half of "pendant", = earring)

 

[DaleCooper]

Gravesend?? ("end" is roughly half of "pendant", = earring)

Not that, the answer involves exactly half of an earring.

 

[d9009alycidon]

Long shot - St Erth (St = exactly half of Stud (type earring) +E(a)rth to Earth and all that is said at the graveside

 

[DaleCooper]

Long shot - St Erth (St = exactly half of Stud (type earring) +E(a)rth to Earth and all that is said at the graveside

That's trouble with long shots, they tend to miss. Sorry, it's not St Erth.

 

[DaleCooper]

Time for a hint:

Half an earring found near a cemetery.

The first part is cryptic the second literal.
