[Karl]

Clockhouse?

Rye House?

 

[DaleCooper]

Clockhouse?

*Edit*

Rye House?

It's neither of those (nor Kent House).

 

[Karl]

I'll try a different 'porter' then.

How about Crewe?

 

[johnnychips]

Park Royal tube? Guinness was brewed there.

 

[Karl]

Sellafield? Yes I'm on the Porter tonight!

 

[DaleCooper]

How about Crewe?

Park Royal tube? Guinness was brewed there.

Sellafield? Yes I'm on the Porter tonight!

Whilst none of the above are correct at least you've identified the appropriate sense of the word "porter".

 

[John Griffiths]

Barmouth?

 

[DaleCooper]

Barmouth?

Not that either. Now it's clear that "porter" refers to beer what about "space"?

 

[duncanp]

Ravenglass

Raven = a brand of porter

 

[DaleCooper]

Ravenglass

Raven = a brand of porter

Not Ravenglass nor any other brand of porter.

 

[johnnychips]

Broome?

 

[DaleCooper]

Broome?

No, not that kind of space.

 

[John Griffiths]

1. Bottlesford?

 

[DaleCooper]

1. Bottlesford?

Does the "1." indicate there are more to follow? Anyway Bottlesford doesn't appear to have a station, in fact it is such a small hamlet it might not have mains electricity. Of course it could be a play on Bottesford in which case: no that's not the answer.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

This station needs a space for the porter.

Hint:

As well as "porter" and "space" another significant word is "the".

 

[John Griffiths]

Theale?

 

[DaleCooper]

Theale?

Theale (insert space to get "The ale") is correct, your turn...

 

[John Griffiths]

Get the train here? No, a cheaper way to arrive.

 

[duncanp]

Sleights, on the Whitby line.

 

[John Griffiths]

Not Sleights, sorry. Rather further south.

 

[DaleCooper]

I was going to try Busby but that's north of Sleights; instead I'll try Walkden?

 

[John Griffiths]

Sorry of tempted to allow that, but will be hard hearted and say no. Travel expert Simon Calder might be able to advise on the answer.

 

[duncanp]

Canada Water ?

 

[John Griffiths]

'Fraid not, and not in Greater London.

 

[John Griffiths]

The Calder bit is straight clue, not an an anagram or any cryptic ballymaufry.

 

[DaleCooper]

Crawley?

 

[John Griffiths]

Sorry for the delayed reply, I had to go away urgently; but not Crawley. Other side of London.

 

[DaleCooper]

Hitchin

 

[John Griffiths]

Hitchin is correct. Your floor, Dale.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

When on board a man stands in the corner.
