Considered meduim. ( I note no ones attempted Yesterdays clues)
1. No limes for Bishopsgate.
2. Traveller heads for Scotland , the Monarch was angry.
3. Money once Sunk , but the station was not lost.
Hint: Leave nothing evaluated rightly.

3. Marylebone (London terminus of the Gone Completely, formerly the Money, Sunk and Lost = Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire)

Curious this - there are a couple of spelling and orthographical presentation differences from the norm - these aren't clues, perchance?
+1 to all three, and the hint is Goole - Allport failed with the Euston Square lot to gain access to Hull [1] (Allport = MS&L blerk) Go [leave] o [nothing] le [evaluated/all - homophone] rightly [semi-vowel used as a partial orthographical equivalent for the terminal phoneme]
ISTR that there have been timetabled services from all putative answers to Goole.
[1] Hull is a port so Allport was 'Noport'.

And there was me thinking the hint was just a mis-expanded abbreviation......

[1] Hull is a port so Allport was 'Noport'. Wow, an over-analysis  Although that's one explanation, it's not the one I had when setting the clue. You can award yourself some points though |

The hint is surely just LNER, these being (three of) its London termini

I thought there were only 3 major LNER terminals in London? What are the others ? Fenchurch Street was originally GER, and the LTS (and later LMS) only had running powers. My uncle's Monopoly board has the stations as all belonging to the "LNER" rather than "British Railways" |

Does the contemporary version of the game list the stations as "National Rail" or by the TOC's?
