Closest I can come to is Smetwick Galton Bridge which contains "Ghost" and "Break/ing" within it's letters. Cannot figure out if the remaining ones (letters) form more words ATM ("cling mid wet").

I kind of get Kentish Town from ghost wrecking it, although I'm left with c-r-i-g-g from the residual letters so in essence it's a pathetic guess.

Edit: I can't find the letters for West, incase it were the 2nd station in the locale.

Smethwick Galton Bridge is correct, as it is an anagram of Ghost wrecking it blamed

Inept play-performer from, say, Llandudno; loses his "Ecstasy", in "Swede-land".

Possible hints: "Swede-land" doesn't refer to the country located between Norway and Finland; in part, it alludes to a venerable bit of British railwaymen's slang. And, the "answer station" has a two-word name.

North Walsham?

Spot-on ! The "E" (= tablet of "Ecstasy") of "Wales", is "lost". The "Swede" bit: from the mockery sometimes directed at Norfolk people for their supposed preoccupation with swedes, the vegetable -- an important crop in the area. In pre-Grouping times -- and, I gather, lingering on long after -- the Great Eastern Railway was often dubbed, by staff of other railways, the "Swedies".

As they say in those parts: it dew be your turn, bor.
