The "Name the Station" game

[martinsh]

The idea is that it's narrowed down to ~1 station after the 5th clue.

There must be 100s of stations matching this description ! Almost everything on the Cambrian Coast and Heart of Wales for a start ...

I refuse to guess !

***I stupidly haven't planned my clues properly. Do you wish to carry on guessing? I'm only allowed to give 5 clues but I planned 7, without realising that the scoring system doesn't allow for that.***

If you want to carry on guessing, here you go. The first two clues are a bit broad to be honest.

1) This station is north of Bournemouth
2) This station is south of Leuchars
1) This station has no electrification.
2) There is no direct service to Scotland from here.
3) This station is not regularly staffed (Clarification: there are no staff unless mobile revenue protection officers turn up or a guard is despatching a train.)
4) There is only one platform.
5) The town this station serves is famous for a mint-flavoured sugary snack.
