Not that one either, I'm afraid.

Another clue: A short distance along the remaining one of the formerly diverging routes, there is a tunnel which is 1,232 yards long.
Wennington? The tunnel was Googlable! But where does the Old spirit come in?

Correct! Well done! I'm afraid I've buggered up the clue again. It should have been Not old spirit plus a number, which would have given:

Not old = NEW
Anagram of not = TON
Spirit = GIN
Plus a number = N

Anagram of the above = WENNINGTON

Apologies to everyone who's brains were hurting even more than mine. I think I'll have to stop doing these for a while. Your turn to climb the bank towards Bentham.

Gotcha! Sometimes setting clues is harder than solving them!

Orange hammers sound like hot hammers, so assuming this is a simple one (I'm only ever going to get simple ones!) - Redcar British Steel?

Next clue

A contrite trooper's intention to reform himself means that he finds himself in a new place.

I have no idea of tram stops, but assume it is one as it is an anagram of Corporation Street.

Yes, the answer is Corporation Street on the West Midlands Metro.

I wondered whether this one would be allowed under the rules, because it is currently closed, and has only been open for 34 days since the end of July last year. (<(<(<()

Your turn.
