I'm not good with cryptics, so I'm happy for anyone to take this from me (assuming it's right)...

Here's one from me if no-one objects: may not last but I will try it anyway.

Tease two thirds of a heavy weight.

This is Taunton. I thought it looked familiar - the clue was "carry on teasing" last time.
Didn't realise Taunton had been done before as I didn't set it. However I couldn't think of a clue for some of the stations that I ran through in my head. Oh well...

The obvious Dickens character would seem to be Miss Havisham, but I can't find a station that is a homophone (nearest was Faversham). I'm now trying to find another angle.

Don't look any further - "Faversham" sounds near enough to "Havisham" to me!

Well done!

OK - anyone want a try at this?:-

Is there a queue for baskets here?

Clue:-

Think of the name for the name for the centre of the base of the basket from where the weaving is started.

My mind keeps going back to William Blake ["Tiger, tiger, burning bright in the forests of the night"] which I remember from my school-days!

So, Blakedown or Blake St [although I'm not sure where the "aim" comes in] :)

I suppose in the Masters Tournament, he was aiming to be up with the Winnersh. :)
