Cryptic clues = station name

[RobertsN]

1. You are correct - Gunton.
2. Keep trying - not Thatcham.
3. Keep trying - not Taplow
4. You are correct - Bare Lane
5. Yes indeed - Nitshill.

So....two still to get. Nice one.

How would you ascribe "getting it right"?

3. I've had a lot of "Oakwood" in my shed
2. No idea....

Getting it right? Getting the answer that I had in mind.

Anybody else work out what 2 and 3 are? National rail stations.....

 

[Loppylugs]

2 could be Wellington

 

[fishquinn]

A quick five puzzlers on station names if I may? All national rail (not major - you need to know your railway geography). All are currently open to passengers.

1. Firearm with an imperial weight?
2. This variety of footwear can also be found in the Antipodes?
3. It's also found (joined up) on the Underground map; this one is complete with something you might find in your shed?
4. Completely unadorned and coupled with Penny in a famous song?
5. Head lice and Benny, the funny man?

Hi and welcome to the game. As a couple of other players have pointed out, in games such as this each player can only set one question per floor. As @RobertsN got a correct guess the floor is now his to set a question

 

[Grumpus63]

2 could be Wellington

Correct

 

[RobertsN]

OK, for a new one then:

Somewhat confused lady calls "Pork!"

'Ware! Ham! As in Wareham?

 

[RobertsN]

'Ware! Ham! As in Wareham?

Sorry @Grumpus63 , not the answer to this one. Where's the lady?

Additional hint, not so far south.

Er, another clue please

 

[neilmc]

Evesham?

 

[RobertsN]

Sorry, @neilmc , not the right one, but you've got part of the idea right. It's not in the West Midlands/Cotswolds.

I think I want an index of British stations which would give an alphabetical list of last syllables of their names...

Excel can be your friend there....

Prithee, sirrah, I am from the XVIth century; what is this "Excel" whereof you speak?

If no further replies tomorrow will reveal the lady's truth...

2. Wellington?[s/]

 

[neilmc]

Sheringham? (she-ring-ham)

 

[RobertsN]

@neilmc , SPOT ON..... your floor.

 

[neilmc]

Here's an Olympic-themed one:

For mixed PE, dye hair red; old coach in danger of going off the deep end here - literally!

 

[RobertsN]

Perchance Ryde Pier Head ? (anagram of PE and dye hair red).

 

[neilmc]

@RobertsN has it of course. You're on again.

 

[RobertsN]

Thanks @neilmc

Santa turns right into new enourmous station

 

[The exile]

Thanks @neilmc

Santa turns right into new enourmous station

A bit futuristic, but Old Oak Common perhaps? (coming from some direction or another must involve turning right at North Pole!)

@The exile , nice thinking but not so much lateral thinking needed for this one

 

[Loppylugs]

Santa turns right into new enourmous station

Is the word enourmous a genuine mistake in spelling or part of the subterfuge ?

 

[RobertsN]

Is the word enourmous a genuine mistake in spelling or part of the subterfuge ?

To be **very** honestly truthful, just a spelling mistake. Doesn't really alter the clue.
BTW, I pride myself on spelling and your "wake-up" was DEFINITELY useful.

 

[RobertsN]

It is really **much** simpler than that.

 

[neilmc]

I'm stuck again, suggest St. Pancras as it contains all the letters of Santa and it's pretty big?

@neilmc , no, not St. Pancras.

Size is not actually something to worry about. Station has 2 platforms and other than rush hour, usually 1 train every 2 hours each way....
