Thank you! I was close for ages but the final leap took a while.

First left, second right, past the twice-beheaded knight and a signal at danger for this station!

I'm afraid not. I'm interested in your reasoning, if you'd care to share?
I'd rather not but if you insist.

First left = l
second right = i
twice-beheaded knight = ng (no reason except I needed "ng")
signal (passed) at danger = SPAD

Put them all together and...

Apparently this is proving rather challenging, so I'll give you a couple of hints.

Firstly, what might the word 'knight' look like if it were beheaded? And a second time?

Secondly, what is another way a signal at danger may be described?

Liskeard?

First Left
Second right
Two beheaded knights:
Sir
Knight
followed by an anagram of ‘a red’ for danger.

I think it might be time to put this one to bed - unless anyone still wants to try, I'll post the answer later today.

In the mean time: 'First' and 'second' refer to the letters A and B.

Rather than give the answer it's usual to provide hints like what part of the country, a bit of history etc.
