No takers on this one, so as 24 hours have passed, I will reveal the answer which is:- Queensbury
Vicerinter = Vic (toria) + ER (Elizabeth Regina) + inter = to bury
Open floor if anyone would like to step in.

Manchester Piccadilly? (According to Wikipedia a piccadil is "a large broad collar of cut-work lace that became fashionable in the late 16th century and early 17th century"; perhaps a gentleman could use it to wipe his nose after his handkerchief had escaped from his breast (chest) pocket.)
Yes, I am clutching at straws.

Nope. Firstly, Dale knows well our station. Now bring them all together!
I hope that alternative clue isn't too weird

I've just watched David Lynch's "Inland Empire" and I'm not sure which was more obscure, the film or that clue.
Something a little easier I hope:
On the NR website's map this station is drawn all wrong.
