[Calthrop]

... is spot on! Apologies for the late reply. I've been on a Northern 10p ticket from Preston to Liverpool.

No worries -- hope it was fun.

Venue famous re seaborne combat prepares for same (it's on route associated with animal fictional hero).

 

[DaleCooper]

Portsmouth Arms?

 

[Calthrop]

Correct ! (P. "arms" itself; and, it's on the Tarka Line -- Tarka The Otter a great book IMO, but the T-name does get rammed down one's throat ad nauseam in those parts nowadays.)

Your floor.

 

[DaleCooper]

Next clue:

This is the place to get a Ford C-MAX shortened or modified.

 

[DaleCooper]

Hint:

It's an anagram, with an "x" in it.

 

[Calthrop]

More often than not in such situations, "x" is a dead giveaway; but I've been right through the list of national-network stations, and I'm at a loss.
