South Shields?
because i realised that the other one was two platforms! (was hoping that you didn't see me edit it)
I honestly don't know the T&W, so this is an educated guess more than anything. South Hylton?
and the other one is in London
Really? There is also one on the Newcastle Metro as well as north london - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northumberland_Park_Metro_station
When the line through this station was new, it saw trains from London; these continued only as far as the next station to the south, which is in the county town. Most such trains did not run down this route though; they "diverted" via (or more accurately stayed on) another line from which this route splits to the north. These days though, this station is on the poor side of a three-way triangle, whose third line (which is younger) connects with the main route, mentioned above, in the local city.
OK then; try this one...
