Govan (Glasgow Subway)?

 

[Zamracene749]

Govan (Glasgow Subway)?

Go-van is correct, van meaning from or by in Dutch! I can't comment on the orange thing, far too political

I was tempted to give it to John Griffiths with New Holland, one of those ones where the clue turns out to nicely fit more than one station!

OK. D6130 can have it - the tram stop is actually called Etihad Campus and I had to revise the clue to reflect this
