All are London area stations ( LUL, NR or LO). Be careful though as these are not going to be easy  1. From carbonate stables, Now only the flowers grow above. Primrose Hill( formerly Chalk Farm)2. Sweet things, but trains have long since left. Silvertown3. A Monarch not amused, by lines forgotten split. Victoria ParkHint: A wide way was where the line in glory terminated. |

"carbonate stables" suggests a steam depot to me.
"lines forgotten split" - a former junction?
"wide way" - Broad Street?

The hint suggests North London Railway stations.
I think 3 must be Victoria Park.

Carbonate Stables is surely Chalk Farm. Flowers growing above might be Primrose Hill, ("only", because it's closed?)
And that fits with Broad Street being the end of the line
In that case, as the monarch not amused is presumably Victoria, are we looking at Victoria Park (near the present Hackney Wick station), which was the junction where a "line forgotten" left the present line for the Royal Docks.
No idea about No 2 though!

Would No 1 be Blackhorse Road? How about King William Street for No 2? Don't ask me how I got to either answer.....

No idea about No 2 though! +1 . For both 1 (Primrose Hill, formerly Chalk Farm (LNWR)) & 3 (Victoria Park (NLR &) Also on Broad Street for the hint. Which makes me think not King William Street for No. 2. What seems as if it might fit is Cranley Gardens. |

Nearest thing I can find on the former NLR to anything sweet is MILDmay Park (between Dalston Junction and Canonbury), but it seems a bit recherche.
