Very clever! 'Turn' the nut!

Not clever enough to last more than 45 minutes apparently.

Still, yours are much better than mine.

You can have as many "guesses" as you like but you may be asked to justify them..

 

[backontrack]

Well, 'slowing down' to a canter, and then putting that around Bury. I don't know how the 'bus' bit works, though.

 

[Zamracene749]

Some great tries there, But Dale Cooper got it with Ebbsfleet International

It's been over 24 hours and not even any guesses so as is my wont here's a hint:

I thought it was a hidden word but couldn't see it, probably because I had never heard of Metheringham.

Is it Metheringham?

Metheringham is the answer, I'm surprised nobody suggested Denmark Hill.

No, that's not it.

Hint: 'familiar' indicates a common shortened name.

I know this isn't what you're looking for but I have to offer Kensal Rise, if only the clue had said "familiars".

 

[Seacook]

A hint: the clue does not work without the word "in".
