OK can I do one?

When the penny drops, you're left at the end of the old branch

 

[neilmc]

Is this too hard? The answer is a station in the North of England, and the branch line also.

 

[Calthrop]

Haltwhistle??

 

[neilmc]

Very nearly. Begins with "D", hence "penny drops".

 

[duncanp]

How about Dalston?

When you lose the initial D, you get Alston, which is at the end of the closed branch from Haltwhistle.

 

[neilmc]

You got it, well done.

 

[duncanp]

OK, let's try

US president is having more children, who when they grow up will be found on the London Underground

 

[Wilts Wanderer]

Barons Court?

 

[duncanp]

No it isn't Barons Court, although the station is on one of the two lines serving Barons Court.

 

[neilmc]

Cockfosters?

 

[duncanp]

It isn't Cockfosters.

The station is on the District line.

Think of the name, or rather the surname, of the current US president.

Then think of a word which means to have more children.

So if you put together "<surname> is <word which means to have more children> "

and mix the letters up, you get a station on the District Line.

 

[Calthrop]

Upminster Bridge?? (Guessing, rather than meticulous working-out.)

 

[duncanp]

It is Upminster Bridge

The logic is that Upminster Bridge is an anagram of Trump is breeding

Your turn.

 

[Calthrop]

It is Upminster Bridge

The logic is that Upminster Bridge is an anagram of Trump is breeding

Your turn.

Ah -- thanks. The best anagram I could come up with, was "TRUMP BREEDS GINI" (= with the fecundity of a guinea-pig or a rabbit )...
