Next clue (something a bit different, I hope you don't mind):

In the whitewashed waiting room there's a man with a badge who is said to be an axeman. He offers you a bottle of red wine and an odd cup of tea with a spoonful of cream. He then invites you to play dominos, tennis or read about the adventures of brave Ulysses.

Sounds like something from Crystal Palace in Wonderland !

Due to a slight mix up I finished up three stations south of my original destination.

I appear to have set a bit of a stinker here.

Hint; look for two stations with similar names three stations apart.

I'd already worked that out but I'm not going to search the whole UK network as well as trams, underground and preserved railways.

I've spotted Horley and Crawley. But you have to be a bit more specific, are we looking for rhymes, anagrams, one letter difference, east/west, etc
