No....I can see where you're coming from, but it's more than a hundred miles away. You're thinking of the right depot though!

Langwathby ?

 

[D6130]

Langwathby ?

Bingo!

Lang = Cumbrian dialect for long (i.e. far away)
Wath = former Woodhead line d.c. loco depot and marshalling yard
By = near to

Your turn to serve the teas on the down platform!

Next clue, one for Wednesday Addams fans:

It's the Christina Ricci fashion but not in a shirt.

What in the world is Wednesday Addams? Some Abrahamic-faiths heresy which holds that humans were created on the third, not the sixth, day ?

Google is your friend but it is not necessary to know who she is to solve the clue.

I don't know from these Addams and Ricci dames -- or didn't -- so here's something on a different theme.

Biological specimen, we hear: the existence of which, broke would-be diners would -- at this season of the year -- be glad of.

Turkey Street?

 

[Calthrop]

Turkey Street?

'fraid not: a street isn't a "biological specimen".

Over to you.

Thank you (although I thought "Turkey's treat" was a good answer).

Next clue:

No one sat carelessly after corporal punishment.

 

[neilmc]

So a "goose tree" is a biological specimen is it?? Glad I didn't have your biology teacher (just cross because I missed out again!)

 

[neilmc]

I'll try Birchington-on-sea

Former railway top man turns around close to the border

 

[neilmc]

This is tricky so let's split it up

1) Former railway, we're not going all pre-grouping let's say
2) top man turns around - what does that suggest?
3) Close to the border, well that almost gives it away!

 

[D6130]

Reston?

 

[neilmc]

Nope, it's still in England

 

[Welshman]

If the former railway man is Sir Reginald Hill;
The Railway Company is the London, Chatham and Dover;
The place where Northern Trains turn around near the border is
Chathill

Sorry, no not as clever as that.

There's not a real top man involved, "top man turns around" means it's an anagram of top man. But it's the right border.
