If I haven't posted another by 2.00pm today then consider it an open floor.

That's the one. Not particularly difficult. Over to you.
Thanks. (Agree -- am sure even Potter-haters have heard of Quidditch; though they may wish they hadn't !)
Next clue:
Dog-fancier recognises breed named strangely O, Lao turbot-hounds !
Correct -- so, open floor.

First clue:

Hint:
It's a bog standard NR station, not LU, not a tram stop, not on a preserved line or anything else obscure.

I'm afraid I'd need a further hint -- my original guess was a total shot in the dark.
I remain totally "in the weeds" with this one. Completely desperate I-don't-know-why guesses:
Aintree? Balmossie? Shadwell?
