A couple of headscratchers.

Stay in vehicle number eleven (4) B*S*

Tension initially dropping in part of Barnet (5) T*E*S
I assume TRESS but the parsing?

Stay in the sense of the bone of a corset.

Vehicle 11 as in vehicle 3 might be car C.

Chambers has that definition of busk. My parsing of vehicle number 11 was bus followed by the 11th letter of the alphabet
