Thank you, here's one for those of you with a literary bent:
In Dotheboys (Nicholas Nickleby) the unfortunate pupils discover their station in life.

Bowes Park ?

Presumably from Bowes Academy the inspiration for Dotheboys Hall. Good thinking, incorrect unfortunately.

Theydon Bois, being an anagram of In Dotheboys

Chingford ?
Yes, Chingford is the correct answer, as in
SearCHING FOR Daffodils uncovers hidden location.

German port is shipped to England, but heading in the wrong direction.
Am going to do, as occasionally: am quite sure that what I'm going to post, is wrong -- but might get the ball rolling...
Trying to run through German port names known to me: there's Kiel (of Canal fame). Spelt backwards (heading in wrong direction?) it nearly makes Leek. While that is not at present a British passenger station; the Churnet Valley Railway folks are very keen somehow to restore the line into Leek and have a station, in some sort, in the town; and their trains run to / through the location of Leekbrook Junction; which at one time featured officially in the timetable, as a halt...

Lostock it is, well done.
For the record, Rostock is the German port. It's heading is R (right), change it to L (left) and we have Lostock.

Ok, I hope others will agree that @Caboose Class has narrowly missed out on the last two answers, so this question is exclusively for him/her. However I will make it as difficult as possible.
The name of the yellow of an egg has four letters. A change from left to right of the third letter will reveal this station.
Small clues: There used to be a grand old Duke from here but now there's just a randy one.
Anywhere near you?

Crikey, that didn't take long @Caboose Class. Obviously not difficult enough, must do better. Over to you.

Thank you. Here's a little mathematical teaser that I prepared earlier:-
2²x11 +4³ +log base
2²x11 +4³ +log base

A non-sticker I'm afraid.

Hint 1: Loss of log base might result in a sonic boom from this salubrious starlet (anag).
Hint 2: The solution to the clue is not 108e
