Not Ore. Nothing to do with currency. Try using the international codes for those countries to form part of an anagram.

Sorry I missed that one. It is indeed Penzance (pence+N (Norway)+ZA (South Africa)).
Your turn.

Thank you.
Next clue:
When a body goes missing here corrupt cops run the chaotic corpse hunt.

No, it's Scunthorpe - anagram of "cops run the". Your turn...
Very good. Two anagrams for the price of one.
Try this one which I rate as easy.
He's so enthusiastic about them that we call him a keen bus bore.
With all due respect, I'd venture to suggest that in this, you rate wrongly -- 22 hours gone by, with no response. Just to have something happening -- here's a totally daft suggestion. The answer-station is Wokingham.
In old-fashioned poetic speech, people -- especially women -- "keen" = lament, when something dire has happened -- they make their noise in response to woe.
In Driffield, East Riding of Yorkshire, there's a coach-and-minibus-hire firm called BusKing Ltd.
A male pig is a boar ("bore") -- the meat "ham", is most often derived from the pig.
So -- keen = WOE. Bus, as explained, = KING. Bore = HAM. -- WOKINGHAM.
Now try us with something difficult

Buneroasbeek, on the Rotterdam steam tram system?
It is a national network station and it is an anagram but you are using too many letters.

Ah, thank you for the nudge. I've been waiting for confirmation that Bekesbourne was the correct answer; that message isn't showing up on my computer for some reason.
I can't think of anything at the moment and I think you've been waiting long enough, so open floor!

Drayton Park
Not Drayton Park.
Bicester, David Cr. [Crescent] -- on a short, and little-known, heritage operation running eastward on the Varsity Line, from Bicester Village
Not there. It is a well known line in the South of England.

You seem to have a very strange view of what constitutes 'easy'.
