Look. All we know about the station is:

a) It's congested
b) The trains wheeze a bit and the steam makes you cough
c) Rolling stock runs along its upper respiratory train tract
d) Helensburgh Upper?

I only do full anagrams, what is your partial anagram?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
.
Hint:

This station appears to be made from beaten egg white...which might confuse a girl.

Why did I not see this sooner?

Another word for egg white/ albumen is grail, which is an anagram for Lairg.

For some reason my brain was stuck on the first, obviously incorrect, station I thought of which was Argyle Street!

Correct except the other word for egg white is glair, was that a typo?

Your turn...

Part typo, part subconscious insight into my reasoning. I was looking for Monty Python and the Holy Grail references that were also stations before your additional clue, which only makes my inability to see the obvious more embarrassing :oops:

Anyway, a quick-fire clue from me as I didn't really expect to be in the position of having to set a clue:

CIA

I'm going to give it to you, because you spotted that Langley is a metonym for the CIA, but I was actually thinking of Langley Green.
