Bentham?
Right -- Jeremy Bentham, 1748 -- 1832, most renowned for the dictum: "it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong".

To describe it briefly: it's sticky and slimy and it's found next to rivers.
If we were living seventy years ago, and the Stratford-on-Avon & Midland Junction route still had a passenger service: I'd say Towcester. What with the creatures in Alice Through the Looking-Glass called "slithy toves" ("slithy" = "lithe and slimy"); and Towcester being situated on the River Tove -- an open-and-shut case !
However -- in the words of the Master: "as it isn't, it ain't".
Windsor & Eton Riverside?
Seascale?
"Desperationsville" -- Steeton & Silsden??? Said station is in the Northern fold; and the names sort-of sound sticky and slimy; and Steeton is on the River Aire, and another stream -- un-named on my quite comprehensive road atlas -- flows from the north-east, into the Aire thereabouts.
Sorry I haven't been back for a while, my broadband was broken. Here's another hint plus elaboration of the two previous hints.
Northern manages this station and provides all passenger services.
Furthermore Towcester has only one river.
WNR isn't sticky and slimy, is it?
I read these lines from the bottom up and thought it could be Staines (SNS) which is near something called Two Rivers. Then I read the bit about being managed by Northern...
Is it Goole?
...and SNS isn't sticky and slimy.
