Cryptic clues = station name

[johnnychips]

Yes, that's in the corner. Well done, your turn...

Thanks Dale. It helps that I can see it from my balcony!

Oh! A fake drink at this station.

 

[johnnychips]

Clue: it’s in Lancashire.

 

[Calthrop]

Just to submit something -- Upholland? Certain types of gin -- the drink itself, often reckoned invented in the Netherlands -- are called Holland or Hollands Gin. A bootlegger might, I suppose, cook up a concoction which would be a bad and spurious imitation of "Holland ..." ?

 

[johnnychips]

No sorry, but it is an alcoholic drink.
