Cryptic clues = station name

Has to be Church Stretton (only 3 stations in Shropshire with 2 words).
It's Church as in a place of workship, also fills the STRetTON for the letter codes.

Church Stretton is correct, and in relation to the original clue it is an anagram of Trench Shortcut.

Your turn

Sorry, wrong one. The proposal bit is significant to understand the clue.
