Parson Street?

 

[Loppylugs]

Parson Street?

Not Parson Street.

 

[Caboose Class]

Doh! With hindsight, I really should have got that. Gah!
I do enjoy this thread, but I'm really not very good at it...

You're doing OK - stick with it!

 

[Loppylugs]

The A38 is very long, not only through Bristol. Connection is to think where true cockneys come from.

Bow Street?

 

[Loppylugs]

Bow Street?

Now very close. It's DLR and housed the first diesel depot in the country.

 

[Caboose Class]

Bow Church?

 

[mr_moo]

East India?
Newton Abbot - Links to the A38 to go North, and John Lethbridge from the East India company lived there. And a DLR station.

 

[Loppylugs]

Bow Church?

Red hot.

Come on @mr_moo, so close to glory. I think you deserve it after the ingenious Bristol guess, but not quite there. Where is Newton Abbot ?

 

[mr_moo]

Doh! It's staring at me now - Devons Road!

 

[Loppylugs]

Doh! It's staring at me now - Devons Road!

Got it ! The A38 trundles down through Devon, Plymouth and beyond. A true cockney is born within the sound of Bow Bells, and Devons Road (Bow) was the first diesel depot in the country (coded 1D if I remember correctly).
Over to you @mr_moo.

 

[mr_moo]

Finally! I so rarely get these I'm quite impressed, even if you did have to guide me in somewhat. Thank you!

Here's mine then. Let's watch this last 10 minutes...

Sevenoaks?

 

[mr_moo]

Sevenoaks?

Nope. Bit more lateral thinking than that required.

That was an interesting article, thank you!

How about Fleetwood? Trams & ferries, etc.

 

[mr_moo]

Nope! Small hint: The clue has two parts, although you only really need the second.

Outwood?

 

[mr_moo]

Nope. You need to think about non-railway stuff to get a railway location with this.

Forest Gate?

 

[neilmc]

I'm thinking Treforest as "Tre" is a Cornish thus very western prefix although the station is of course in Wales

 

[mr_moo]

Neither correct, sorry.
Think of a very different way of referring to places

Newhaven 'arbour?

 

[mr_moo]

Newhaven 'arbour?

Like it!

Part 1 of the clue is a reference to the area in the country where this station can be found.
Part 2 is the non-railway system way of referring to places.

 

[mr_moo]

Part 1 is 2 words, part 2 is 3 words...

 

[mr_moo]

You don't need part 1 really. focus on the last three words...

 

[DaleCooper]

You don't need part 1 really. focus on the last three words...

You've already told us that.

Part 1 is 2 words, part 2 is 3 words...

Nope! Small hint: The clue has two parts, although you only really need the second.

 

[mr_moo]

Indeed. What other things can three words be used for?
