Thank you.
The next clue is another one for film fans:
The blue box scene from Mulholland Drive: Laura Harring to Naomi Watts, "What's inside?".

From what I remember of the movie there was nothing inside the blue box - so is the answer Ayr?

No, it's not Ayr.

Time for some help? You're probably overthinking this one, which was my intention when concocting the clue.
Hints:
I didn't use the character's names which were Rita and Betty.
It's not necessary to have seen either the film or the attached clip.
All services are operated by Northern Trains.

Doh! I was massively over-thinking that! I was looking for circles then left curves etc as per the directions in the video!
Good one though.

Wainfleet? But what happened to the Hay?

Is correct (The Hay) Wain is the most famous Constable painting, and ships make a fleet. Sail away…

Time for a hint:- This station is one of three in town.

Time to reveal the answer to:- 10 across: I bark? Mad anagram!
The answer is Maidstone Barracks (anagram of ten (10) across I bark mad).
And Maidstone Barracks is one of three stations in Maidstone.
Open floor!
