The "Name the Station" game

[clagmonster]

Attempting to get this back to the question asked, I'm not sure about if this had 6 platforms but my guess is Shipley

Correct, the removed platform being the Bradford-Keighley side of the triangle, which is now single line.

Clue 1 This station is between Aberdeen and Nottingham

 

[clagmonster]

Do you mean on a straight line between the two or south of Aberdeen and north of Nottingham?
On the assumption that you mean the latter, I will go for Darlington Bank Top.

I think I have worded clue 1 quite badly, and may find I am due a 6 point penalty. That said, taking the same interpretation lots of other people are due one point penalties.

Clue 4:
In the English version of the game, if proper nouns were allowed, assuming that no blank tiles were used and that no tiles were laid on special scoring squares, this station's name would score 14 points in a game of Scrabble.
