Anagram Solutions

The solutions to the anagrams that I posed in an earlier post are as follows:

• ASCOT
• MARTINS HERON
• BRACKNELL
• WOKINGHAM
• WINNERSH
• WINNERSH TRIANGLE
• EARLEY
• READING

These are a series of stations that I pass through on my way home.  Congratulations to Liz on getting them.  The idea was suggested to me by a station sign at Martins Heron: I thought that it looked so strange a name that it must really be an anagram of something sensible.

Anagrams

On the train on the way home I was inspired to compose the following anagrams by something that I saw:

• TOSCA
• HERMANS INTRO
• BELL CRANK
• MOHAWK GIN
• SHREW INN
• WARREN NIGHTLINES
• EEL RAY
• I GANDER

Can you solve them? What is the common theme?
