Following on from what3words, let's stick with some more IT jiggery-pokery! New clue:- Google Hangouts

Thank you. I was a bit worried whether that would count under the cryptic theme or whether I was just being daft and annoying people.
For yours - Alloa? (Google's chat apps have had several different names over time, one of which is Google Allo)

No, not Alloa - but you're close. Only 24 miles away as it happens - as the crow flies!

Interesting!
Ok, so how about Milngavie?
People searching for themselves or health or whatever will meet (and hangout whilst waiting for their friends) at the start of the West Highland Way.

East (or West) Kilbride?

balgreen? Green ball of the hangouts logo, although I can't work out how the gunshot wedding fits in

I like your sense of humour! No, not either of the Kilbrides.

No, not that one either.

"Hangouts" and "a gunshot" (wedding). Ding, ding?

Saughton?
Oh <bleep>, you've just beaten me to it.

Correct answer. Saughton (anagram of both Hangouts & a gunshot) is a tram stop in Edinburgh which is exactly 24 miles as the crow flies from Alloa.
Your turn to kill the bride!

But at least you got there!Oh <bleep>, you've just beaten me to it.

Thank you.
A bit of a tongue twister for the next clue:
Several cities in Surrey see some Southern services.

Several cities have them. Surrey = SY = South Yorkshire. South Yorks = Southern. Services =Church mass.
Cathedral? Tram stop in Sheffield?

Wrong station, wrong county and, wrong service provider. Otherwise a brave attempt.

Ouch!
How about Sheerness-on-Sea?
(Three capital 'S's in there. CRS code for Sheerness-on-Sea is SSS)

It's time to visit the hinterland:
Several cities -
in Surrey - is the location of the station
see some Southern services -
The blanks will be filled in if and when necessary.

Ok, taking it all a bit more literally - Guildford?
There are several Surrey cities in the Southern network, but only one that has a limited Southern service.
