Chandlers Ford?
No, not Chandler's Ford. I get the feeling that some of these answers are shots in the dark as they don't seem to have any relationship to the clue. The correct answer can be deduced from the clue and when that's done it will be obviously correct.

Hint:

All the letters in the clue, plus some others, are in the answer.

My shots in the dark were based on the clue that the station was closed and then reopened again about 20 years later and that it's managed by South Western Railway. I'm obviously going to have to put on my serious thinking cap now....or fall asleep! ;)

Pinhoe? Can be found in hope?
If that is the correct answer, and as I am out for the rest of the day, then Open Floor.

Somewhat desperate, probably -- "cobalt" the colour name comes from the German "Kobold" = sprite, demon: Copplestone station "sounds a bit like" ...

No, the answer is not Copplestone, nor any other National Rail station, come to that.

No, the answer is not Devil's Bridge.

The answer is an anagram of two words in the clue, and is a tram stop.

Yes, Bramcote Lane on the Nottingham Express Transit system is the correct answer.

It is an anagram of Rename Cobalt.
