Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

Tipton

I'll give you a tip, the answer doesn't contain "tip".

 

[Strat-tastic]

Not pit, then

 

[neilmc]

Merryton?

 

[DaleCooper]

Not pit, then

As you say; not Pitlochry (PIT).

Merryton?

It is Merryton, your turn...

 

[neilmc]

Isn't the right Deltic, but might have run here!

 

[neilmc]

Clue: the answer can be obtained cryptically from the first part, and isn't a Deltic name, the second part's a further hint at the location which might be relevant to certain Deltics!

Ayr

 

[Zamracene749]

Aint(r)ee? Perhaps the racehorses that some Deltics were named after ran there? Open floor if so

 

[neilmc]

No, Dave has it spot on with Aintree; aint = isn't r = right and EE for English Electric! Your turn!

I believe that makes it open floor.

 

[Calthrop]

I believe that makes it open floor.

Reading it, that this is so:

Jungle Book incident, re key character far from native heath, suffering ill-fortune and begging assistance (apocryphal. and all a mess) -- Help up ! cackles Baloo Bear.

[DaleCooper]

Correct ! Cooper sahib, please be so good as to set the next one...

Thank you.

Next clue:

Perversely in this station they do not sell or collect tickets.

 

[DaleCooper]

Perversely in this station they do not sell or collect tickets.

Hint:

adverb: perversely

1. 1.
   in a way that shows a deliberate and obstinate desire to behave in an unreasonable or unacceptable manner.
   "the group perversely refused to tour until well past their peak"
   
   
2. 2.
   in a manner contrary to what is expected or accepted.
   "he was perversely proud of his parochial background"

 

[neilmc]

Could apply to any unstaffed halt with no ticket machine.

Such as CARDENDEN where your use of your card is endin'??

Bit weak I admit.

The station in question is unstaffed with no ticket machine but those facts are irrelevant to the clue and it's in England.

 

[Calthrop]

The station in question is unstaffed with no ticket machine but those facts are irrelevant to the clue and it's in England.

Just to submit something -- though your saying "those facts are irrelevant", would seem to exclude this suggestion -- Bookham? ("book 'em" -- meaning their tickets / journeys -- or rather, not) ...

Yes, Bookham is excluded. Try concentrating on the first two words of the clue.

 

[Purple Train]

Rolleston?

 

[DaleCooper]

Rolleston?

Correct: Perversely in this station they do not sell or collect tickets. Your turn...

 

[Zamracene749]

Edited cos my PC is slower even than my mind....

 

[Purple Train]

Correct: Perversely in this station they do not sell or collect tickets. Your turn...

Thanks. A little fun one now methinks.


Wishing you were somehow here again, knowing we must say goodbye...

 

[DaleCooper]

Cemetery Road

 

[Purple Train]

Cemetery Road

Excellent, but no. It's not the terminus of the London Necropolis Railway either.

Hint: Here in this room he calls me softly, somewhere inside, hiding.

 

[Greenheart]

Angel?

 

[Purple Train]

Angel?

No, not Angel.

The second clue will help in how to read the first. I'm afraid it's one of those fiendish deceptively simple ones.

 

[Zamracene749]

Acton (acting) Main Line?

 

[Purple Train]

Acton (acting) Main Line?

No, I think you're overthinking it.

It might help if I shortened it: Knowing we must say goodbye...

 

[DaleCooper]

No, not Angel.
