Yes, according to the "Rules of the Game" it has to be an open train station / underground station or tram stop in the UK. So Snelland wouldn't count. Escargots is a very devious clue which I think only someone with a very tortured mind is going to solve.

Oh he of the tortured mind!! I thought my clue would run a lot longer than that!!
Escargots - anagram of cross gate - new(ly) formed. Well done @DaleCooper, continue on the snail trail.
I know -- just find it hard to keep mind from wandering to closed stations / open ones in the non-UK parts of the British Isles

Just the place try Victor's thin lager cocktail.

No, sorry. Have to admit I know nothing about the Sheffield Supertram. However, take heart from the fact you are partly there.

Not Wombwell. I did that station once incorporating a confused London cleaner (womble) inside the walls of Whitehall (WL).

Gloucester Spot-on. Your floor

Why didn't I think of that in the first place?
Next clue:
It's against extremes which need deciphering.

Skipton?
Between N and S something that sounds quite similar to crypto.

Sorry, it's not Skipton.
Here's some hints:
The extremes are in the clue.
It's not an anagram.
