Riddle-me-ree Crescent

Collective consciousness riddle-making. The answer must be a London Underground station name.
My first is in PONY but isn't in TRAP
My second's in CRIBBAGE but never in SNAP
My third is in FEARSOME but never in TERROR
My fourth's in MISTAKE but is never in ERROR
My fifth is in BREAD but in BUTTER's not found
My sixth is in EARTH but not present in GROUND
My seventh and last is in NEW but not OLD
My whole is the place where your legs go to fold. ([a] I hope I got the right station, [b] I hope someone understands what I posted.)
Let me guess - its, its... Neasden!

My first is in CHEERFUL but not found in SAD.

My second's in MIFFED but is never in MAD.
My third is in VICARAGE, not in a MANSE
My fourth is in FLOWERS but nowhere in PLANTS
My fifth is in ORANGE and also in GREEN
My sixth is in POLISH but nowhere in SHEEN
My seventh's in BOTTLE but not in a GLASS
My eighth is in ATOMS but not in a MASS
My ninth is in FLOWER but never in BUNCH
My tenth's served for BREAKFAST but never for LUNCH
My eleventh's in DENTURES and also in TEETH
My twelfth is in GARLAND and also in WREATH
My thirteenth's in OMEN and also in FEAR
My fourteenth's in TYNE and is also in WEAR
My last is in CONSONANT never in VOWEL
If you can't guess this main line, just throw in the towel.
My first's in OUTRAGEOUS but not found in STAID
My second's prolific in MILKING and MAID
My third hides in BRACKEN but stays out of GORSE
My fourth's in the ALPHABET somewhere, of course!
My fifth's in A MINUTE but not in AN HOUR
My sixth is in BLOOM and is also in FLOWER
My seventh's in ARKEN but but missing from SWALE
My eighth's not in HILL but can be seen in DALE
My first half is wealthy, my second's a hill
On second thoughts:
My first half is wealthy, my second's a rise
And the gardens thereat are a sight for sore eyes.
I think it's Richmond - is that right?
My first can be WRITTEN but cannot be DRAWN
My second's in SUNSET but never at DAWN
My third is in PIRATE but not JOHNNY DEPP
My fourth's in a MAINSAIL but not in a STEP
My fith is in HAMMER but not on the NAIL
My sixth's not in DOLDRUMS but found in a GALE
Has our rhyme gone astray, or is it just me?
My seventh in MOUNTAINS and MOLEHILLS is found [Kim] Astray how? It makes sense to me so far...
My eighth, of course, is in the UNDERGROUND
My ninth's nicely ROUNDED not thin like a STICK
My tenth's in ADOBE but not in a BRICK
My elevenses have RICH TEA but nary a HOB NOB
My twelfth's keen on WENDY but doesn't like BAD BOB (Rex the Runt reference)
My whole sounds much like a command of some kind
But's not coloration but a station you'll find.
(Personally, I think it's more fun not to give the answer, otherwise anyone who reads this game won't have the opportunity to solve the riddles for themselves.)

My first's in the GARDEN but not in the SHED.

My second's in FOLLOWED but never in LED
My third is in LIMP and never in Hard
My fourth's not in CENTAUR, but CAMELEOPARD
My fifth is in ASHES and PHOENIX as well
My sixth is in CRAB but not in its SHELL
My seventh's in PARSLEY but never in THYME
My eighth is in GAOL but without any CRIME
My ninth is in both PARANORMAL and STRANGE
