Cryptic clues = station name

@DaleCooper , fail to see the "almost all right" in that one. Unfortunately the wrong answer (or to my rather limited knowledge the "suburb"). No offence intended.

"Why then" is not too altogether on the wrong track (though really far away from the answer).

Oke(y)hampton?

My final punt - FOUR OAKS?

It's in a suburb of Birmingham which is in the "West" country. Somehow connected with Selly Oak (also in Brum). Oak has a plural.
The station is nowhere near the suburb. The suburb's name forms part of the station's name. The station is towards the west of the suburb. All true!
How many different ways can one say it's "almost all right" without getting it right - Four a OKs?

@beermaddavep has it.

Hampton (the Hamptons) has a new station out in the west which is almost Okey. So Oke-Hampton

Your floor.

It appears you beat me in a photo finish, I think there was about 50 nanoseconds in it.

Alexandra Palace?

Alexandra Palace?

I'm afraid not. This is admittedly quite a difficult one, involving an anagram of cryptic clues.

Next clue: It's not in England.
