Cryptic clues = station name

[John Griffiths]

Saundersfoot? It is an anagram of saunters food, and the first bit = strolls.

Smart analysis, but it's actually a lot easier.
If not one gets it by mid-morning, I'll reveal the answer and declare open floor.

Another hint:
North west of London (but in England and way before any of the midlands)

 

[Loppylugs]

Lets try Wendover

 

[RobertsN]

Lets try Wendover

Correct!!!

The lateral hints were for the Aces High (high tennis shots) and RAF "Halton" (be to stop for unknown reason) both of Wendover.

Your floor.

 

[Loppylugs]

Add up three points (but the home point is missing)

 

[Calthrop]

As is my tendency -- a "desperate and daft" suggestion just to, perhaps, get things going; I propose Wem. "Points": West, East, and Middle; but N for "North" (with the station's being on a line once of the London & NORTH Western Railway) is missing...

 

[Loppylugs]

You are working on the right lines, the points are the second part of a six letter station. Add up accounts for the first three. (Simple Calthrop, or Helppo in Finnish !)

 

[neilmc]

Totnes?

 

[Loppylugs]

That's the one. Tot is to add up and we have north, east and south but the home area of the west is missing. All yours neilmc.

My randy chats stir confusion in the valleys

 

[Calthrop]

Ystrad Mynach?

 

[neilmc]

Calthrop, you have it, boyo.

 

[Calthrop]

Diolch'n fawr, or words to that effect... with the floor passing to me:

Might be mistaken for rebellious George's out-of-town luxury pad; except that it's an ocean away, and near a much shorter river.

 

[John Griffiths]

Mount Vernon?

 

[Calthrop]

Mount Vernon?

Correct: name shared by George W.'s (lovingly preserved) estate just outside Washington DC; and station in the Glasgow conurbation.
Your floor.

 

[John Griffiths]

Thanks.

Where the garden gate might be?

 

[johnnychips]

Streethouse?

 

[John Griffiths]

Nice thinking, but I'm afraid not.

 

[Loppylugs]

Kew Bridge ? (bridge = gateway)

 

[John Griffiths]

Another good answer, but not the one.

 

[Calthrop]

Flowery Field?? -- rather clutching-at-straws...

 

[John Griffiths]

No, but flowers grow in gardens, what else might...

 

[RobertsN]

Worcester Shrub Hill? (Can't see the Worcester fitting in though....)

 

[johnnychips]

Hedge End?

 

[Calthrop]

Bush Hill Park?

 

[John Griffiths]

Congratulations to Johnny, bad luck RobertsN and Calthrop. The hedge ends where the gate is, otherwise there wouldn't be space for the gate.

 

[johnnychips]

Town drains in a line at this station?

 

[johnnychips]

To get track on back, take the town drains in a line from this station.

 

[Strat-tastic]

Oxford.

 

[johnnychips]

No, sorry.
