Considering a move to Memphis
Clue 6: The answer station isn’t in Greater London.
I think you need to read the rules of this game. You are only supposed to give five clues - by which time it should have been narrowed down to only one possible answer (or at least a very small number)

Guess : Gatwick Airport (used to be a racecourse)

Beds, Bucks, or somewhere else
To clarify, the station has the following characteristics:
  • 2 platforms
  • Third rail electrification
  • Not served by SWR
  • Operated by ThamesLink
  • Has a sporting connection
  • Is not in Greater London

What is a sporting connection?
