OK - I'll punt on Guide Bridge as a possible then...

 

[Loppylugs]

No, but you could take a punt on the river here.

 

[BAFRA77]

OK - so that may narrow it down from the supplemental information to either a station near the two major universities - and a guide could have a double meaning as a dictionary.

So I'll go with Oxford?

If not - I'll step back and let others have a crack at it.

Ten out of ten for your valiant attempts. Nothing to do with a university. This location is not so far from you, the answer lies within the question !

 

[DaleCooper]

Thank-you.

If I were to search for this station, I would look here for directions first.

Hereford

Yes indeed. Look here for d (the first letter of directions). Over to you.

 

[DaleCooper]

This station is concealed in Welsh teaser I concocted.

Hint:

"concocted" could indicate an anagram.

 

[BAFRA77]

Ok - that’s useful - so I’ll be looking at “Welsh Teaser I” as the anagram

Wester Hailes? (A station I’ve been to as it happens)

Sadly not - you're in the right half of the country

 

[Loppylugs]

Woodland portal reworked — platform ahead

Oops, was going for Forest Gate.

 

[DaleCooper]

Oops, was going for Forest Gate.

That was my first thought but the clue says "reworked" and Foregate St is an anagram of Forest Gate.

 

[Loppylugs]

Way past my intelligence !!

Oakengates (I don't know what the rest of the clue means.)

 

[BAFRA77]

Correct. Was going down the line is that it is one of the towns that were combined to form Telford New Town - hence a collective conurbation.

Plus of course it is one of the last stations prior to Telford Central - hence the reference to a portal to it.
