I can't make a station name out of this. Leads I've had so far:

English Royal: Looking for stations with Queen, King, Prince etc in the title?

Burnt cork: Used by minstrels for blackening their faces? An old Australian practice signifying a white man had fathered a child with an aboriginal woman? Cork is a type of Oak Tree? Burnt Oak (but that doesn't fulfill the Royal English Connection though)!

A clue might be needed...

You're on the right track! Try thinking about each word individually... I can give a geographic clue if that doesn't help.

Exactly so!

English oak - Quercus robur, the tree
Royal Oak - third most common pub name
Burnt Oak - a Tube station
Cork Oak - Quercus suber, tree and source of cork.

Over to you...
