Correct.

[Calthrop]

Not Woodhouse I'm afraid.

Inventive but incorrect I'm afraid.

 

[DaleCooper]

The station is rattled, shaken and disrupted by passing trains.

Hint:

It is served by Thameslink but is "shaken and disrupted by passing trains" of another operator.

(There is another hint within that hint, if you can spot it.)

The "hint within that hint" is a missing word.

The "hint within that hint" is a missing word.

It is an anagram of part of the clue and serves a village in Hertfordshire.

 

[Loppylugs]

It's Radlett, was hoping somebody else might get it so open floor.

 

[DaleCooper]

It's Radlett, was hoping somebody else might get it so open floor.

Correct, open floor...

[Calthrop]

Redditch?

Getting colder, I'm afraid. Possible hint -- James Herriot.

 

[D6130]

Thirsk?

 

[Calthrop]

Thirsk?

Correct ! Seen as "thirst", Russified; and Thirsk is generally reckoned to have been the location of Herriot's real-life practice -- fictionalised by him as "Darrowby".

Now set tha question, Comrade.

 

[D6130]

Thanks.

A mouthful of debt?

 

[John Griffiths]

Gobowen?

 

[D6130]

Yes indeed - as in "Gob owin' ". Your turn for, hopefully, a slightly less obvious clue!

 

[John Griffiths]

Your turn for, hopefully, a slightly less obvious clue!

Oh dear...

A serpent in the heart?
