Cryptic clues = station name

[DaleCooper]

Seeing as RDP doesn't seem to want to play anymore, I'll set a quickie:

This station is filthy, always rubbish or dust swirling about.

Stroud

 

[Loppylugs]

Stroud

Over to you.

 

[DaleCooper]

Over to you.

Thank you.

Next clue:

Why do no long trains call here? It has a single short platform and unfortunately none fit.

 

[RobertsN]

Beauly?

 

[DaleCooper]

Beauly?

No, not Beauly.

 

[neilmc]

Feniton?

 

[DaleCooper]

Feniton?

Correct although not as short as Beauly, your turn...

 

[neilmc]

Manuscript lost in Essex turns up, much reduced, in Cheshire

 

[neilmc]

Clue - the Essex station's town is much larger than the Cheshire station's town, hence "much reduced"

 

[RobertsN]

Chelmsford/Chelford?

 

[neilmc]

Mr Roberts, that is exactly right. Your turn!

 

[RobertsN]

Thanks.

Days are fine. Weeks up north are definitely messed up.

 

[DaleCooper]

[DaleCooper]

Skewen again?

Yes, what a coincidence! Your turn...

 

[Loppylugs]

Seeing as @D6130 has abandoned us I'll do a quickie, but please no open floors or we are back in the same state:

No affluent society around here. It seems all the poor mix together instead.

Apologies for that. Have been travelling around Italy and it slipped my mind!

Next clue:

In this station they make a sound like "bong" or "ping" to notify passengers of a train's approach.

 

[RobertsN]

Tring ?

 

[DaleCooper]

Tring ?

Good thinking but, alas, not the answer.

 

[RobertsN]

Could it be Beltring instead? Bel(tr)ing

 

[DaleCooper]

Could it be Beltring instead? Bel(tr)ing

Like a bell going "tring"? Nice try but no.

 

[Neo9320]

Dinting?

 

[DaleCooper]

Dinting?

Another good but wrong answer.

 

[RDP]
