Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s competition (the results for last week are here as well)!

Firstly, I really am completely overwhelmed by the kind messages I am receiving about these puzzles and it’s genuinely making me feel that I am doing something worthwhile in these difficult times...  

Loads of requests for more cryptic clues.... so this time it’s 75 clues, each of which is a station on the London Underground and DLR. For clarification, these are all stations appearing on the London Underground map, including the Docklands Light Railway, but NOT including the Overground or other lines not operated by London Underground.
