I've got 3. Some of them are more like cryptic crossword clues than anything else.

18/20 for jamesthegill
17/20 for greatkingrat

Starkey... when you say you've got 3, is that 3/20 or that you know the answer to number 3?

One of the troublesome clues seems to describe a non-LU station, though it is in London. [EDITED to avoid identifying the clue concerned]
