No -- Rid cots: Fido's sorrows (the poor dog is deprived of anywhere comfortable to sleep).

Tinkles lengthways whilst moving sideways

[Calthrop]

Tinkles lengthways whilst moving sideways
Hint: You are looking for a Saint

Going out for a few hours: will take the wording with me to ponder en route ...

St Keyne Wishing Well Halt?

 

[Caboose Class]

St Keyne Wishing Well Halt?

Indeed it is, Sir. Well done!
Was rather hoping that @Calthrop might have got it (whilst he was en route), but over to you.

 

[Calthrop]

It's not my day -- thought of St. K. W. W H., but couldn't fit it to the furnished wording. I'd best say, don't bother to explain it: I'll just slump in corner while sporting dunce's cap !

Oh no, not me again! It's a good job I have a bottomless clue basket, e.g.:

ALGOL's π expansion function provides the answer.

Gallions Reach?

 

[DaleCooper]

Gallions Reach?

Sorry, that's not it.

 

[DaleCooper]

Need some help? Here's a couple of hints.

It is not an anagram.
Latin is more useful than Greek.

 

[Calthrop]

I saw "ALGOL's n" and thought "maths / science -- forget it". Perhaps I should be less hasty ...

Neither programming nor maths knowledge is necessary, by the way that's not an "n".

Ah, that explains why when I was cutting & pasting your clue, I was wondering what the hell was going on! For other Solvers the n is actually the symbol for pi (as in Radius = pi*d).

 

[Calthrop]

Re "n / pi" confusion -- glad to learn it wasn't just me !

GOLSPIE?
And I meant Circumference of a circle = pi*d

 

[DaleCooper]

GOLSPIE?

That's the one. your turn...

 

[Caboose Class]

That's the one. your turn...

Thank you. And so continuing with the pi theme.....
i (square root of -1) , e (natural log base) and π (pi) are examples of integer madness

 

[johnnychips]

Elgin?

 

[Caboose Class]

Elgin?

Sorry, not Elgin.

i is imaginary, e and π are transcendental therefore the answer must be:

Loch Eil Outward Bound?

Very ingenious answer - but not the right one alas! Here's another clue: This station was once served by the London Underground.
By the way (Euler's Identity) is a most beautiful equation.

 

[D6130]

This station was once served by the London Underground.

Wendover?

 

[Caboose Class]

Wendover?

Sorry, that's it's not. Here's another clue: This station has often been used by PMs.

 

[Calthrop]

Little Kimble? Only because it's the nearest station to Chequers.

 

[Caboose Class]

Little Kimble? Only because it's the nearest station to Chequers.

Little Kimble actually is the nearest station to Chequers but for some reason (security?) another nearby station is used. Also, I'm very surprised that nobody has got the answer yet. Despite all the mathematical mumbo-jumbo in the clue, it's a straightforward anagram!!

Great Missenden?

You got it - but you won't be in @Calthrop's good books today!

No worries -- "mathematical mumbo-jumbo" has an automatic snake-and-rabbit effect on me, whether it's "real" or "camouflage". My Little Kimble idea was purely-and-only in response to the "PMs" bit; success would have been incidental and, I'd feel, undeserved !

 

[DaleCooper]

I'll step aside again and let someone else have a go, open floor...

 

[perryman]

If I may:

This station sounds like where the owners of Waterloo, after successful written completion of registration, might be.

 

[Calthrop]

Briton Ferry??? -- the Britons, plus their allies, "owned" the French at Waterloo; "Ferry" -- written completion of registration requires a referee -- "re" + "ferry", sort-of -- weak, I know.
