Cryptic clues = station name

[Loppylugs]

Don't think Kidsgrove had a steam shed did it ? Methinks neilmc's solution sounds more feasible, 'cos I can't sus anything else.

 

[D6130]

Sowerby Bridge? - anagram of row, BB side and grey?

Yes....well done! Apologies to those of you who have come up with other possible solutions since Saturday. I'm afraid I've been a bit occupied over the Easter weekend. Over to you Neil........

 

[neilmc]

Classical city in Costa Rica?

 

[Calthrop]

Cromer? Central American nation abbreviated to CR; "Rome" in between those two letters...

 

[neilmc]

That was quick with no extra clues! Cromer is correct!

 

[Calthrop]

Thanks. Costa Rica has always struck me as a fun place -- pity it no longer has railways...

Though very far from metropolis's "plant heaven" -- botanical healer checking night-flowerers: in puzzlement, "what ills, Kew? -- shine gently".

 

[neilmc]

After a search of all stations list for one comprising 22 letters I think I have it -

St Keyne Wishing Well Halt?

 

[Calthrop]

You 'ave it plumb right, me 'andsome -- your floor.

 

[neilmc]

Remote station might be location for breeding asp?

 

[RobertsN]

Remote station might be location for breeding asp?

Adderley Park?

 

[Loppylugs]

Spean Bridge ?

 

[neilmc]

Spean Bridge is correct (anagram of breeding asp), although Adderley Park is a good guess if you consider Birmingham to be remote!

Your turn, Loppylugs

 

[Loppylugs]

Prior to a swap, a supporter adds more support within cups.

 

[RobertsN]

Spean Bridge is correct (anagram of breeding asp), although Adderley Park is a good guess if you consider Birmingham to be remote!

Your turn, Loppylugs

Well, if you live in the south-east or Scotland....

 

[John Griffiths]

Bradford Interchange? (Though it's proper name Bradford Exchange, would be better)

 

[Loppylugs]

Well done John, easily sussed the feminine connotations eh?

 

[John Griffiths]

Good grief, that was a wild punt just to keep things moving.

I have taken wine, so probably best to say - Open floor

 

[Calthrop]

We might perceive slothful saunterer going past; while Northumbrian royal saint (only a short way off his "patch") prays in his place of devotion.

 

[duncanp]

Lazonby & Kirkoswald, on the Settle to Carlisle line, after the Northumbrian Saint Oswald.

 

[Calthrop]

Lazonby & Kirkoswald, on the Settle to Carlisle line, after the Northumbrian Saint Oswald.

And "laze on by", for the "sloth" -- spot-on, and splendidly quick. Thine turn to set the succeeding rebus, my son...

 

[duncanp]

Next clue:-

I work at the main international airport in Chicago, USA.

 

[perryman]

ORD is the major Chicago airport, O'Hare. I work = possibly is 'staff', so on a whim I'll say 'Stafford'.

 

[duncanp]

Stafford is correct.

Your turn.

 

[perryman]

Thank you.

To get his oats, this fellow needs to wing it to work.

 

[neilmc]

Quaker's Yard?

 

[perryman]

Quaker's Yard?

I like your thinking but it isn't Quaker's Yard.

 

[Calthrop]

Have had "Pegasus" insistently in mind; but it seems that there's no community of that name anywhere in the world -- let alone a passenger station in the UK.

 

[perryman]

Have had "Pegasus" insistently in mind; but it seems that there's no community of that name anywhere in the world -- let alone a passenger station in the UK.

A bit too classical for me.

 

[perryman]

Clue 1: To get his oats, this fellow needs to wing it to work.
Clue 2: The on-site store for a specialist factory?

(I prefer the first clue).

 

[Calthrop]

Manchester Airport?? (The man works at a place to which one "wings it"; and I suppose foodstuffs in the shape of grain of whatever kind, MIGHT be kept in a chest )
