Cryptic clues = station name

Manningtree?

Manningtree?

Try a different synonym and remember "in the South East".

 

[DaleCooper]

The synonym you're looking for is "work" and the network has a shortage of it. South East is about as south and east as you can get.

 

[DaleCooper]

A hint at bedtime:

Network is short of work and it's in a part of England that's in the South East.

 

[DaleCooper]

Final hint:

The station is in Cambridgeshire, South East = Kent.

 

[Strat-tastic]

Kennet!

 

[DaleCooper]

Kennet!

Near enough, it's actually Kennett. Network - work = net, net in Kent = Kennett. Your turn...

 

[Strat-tastic]

Thanks.
Stump a heavyweight.

Foxton

 

[Strat-tastic]

[Loppylugs]

That's correct!

Thank-you. Good one.

Both excellent fighters, as was Enry Ammersmith, but not the right answer.

Hayes & Harlington

 

[Strat-tastic]

That's the one! Your floor.

 

[DaleCooper]

That's the one! Your floor.

Thanks but how is Harlington connected with horse feed?

Next clue:

Tulyar, Alycidon, Pinza and Crepello would be at home here.

Derby or Epsom or Tattenham Corner.

 

[DaleCooper]

Derby or Epsom or Tattenham Corner.

No, the answer is neither a horse race, a racecourse nor a depot.

 

[neilmc]

Haymerket? (but would Meld or St Paddy or Nimbus or Ballymoss also be at home??)

 

[DaleCooper]

Haymerket? (but would Meld or St Paddy or Nimbus or Ballymoss also be at home??)

Not Haymerket, as above the answer isn't a depot. Meld, St Paddy, Nimbus and Ballymoss would be at home as would Red Rum, Nijinsky and Desert Orchid.
