[clagmonster]

Bradford Forster Square

Oh thanks (!)

Let's get the obvious out of the way, judging by the wording of the clue. Poppleton?

Clue 5: This station's name is different to the settlement it serves, but not to a substantial degree - a visitor would still be able to associate the two.

[Robinson]

Chandlers Ford (the difference being that the settlement name has an apostrophe).

Scott, I know in Post #908 you explained the Scrabble Points structure for those who weren't familiar with it, and I believe a similar thing would be useful with these routing maps, as I have no clue about where in the country they are located.

I know I once read a PDF that fully explained and illustrated them, would you know where this is located?
