Not Clapham Junction. The TOC who manages the station in question doesn’t serve Clapham Junction!

Yes I was. Funny how clues 1-3 of the last one fit together with clues 4 & 5 of this one to give Shrewsbury, and all of the answers on this page (except Clapham Junction) also meet clues 1-3 of last one.

I think the answer to this one is Orpington

Clue 5 : this station is the only one in the settlement it serves. There was previously another station, but that closed in the Beeching era. Prior to that this station had the suffix "Central". [ And historically this station has other names as well ] It was never possible to catch a direct train between the two stations.

 

[perryman]

Would this be Gloucester (Central), and Eastgate being the pre-Beeching station?

 

[martinsh]

Would this be Gloucester (Central), and Eastgate being the pre-Beeching station?

No it wouldn't - I don't think Gloucester has 4 platforms ?

Extra clue : Coventry and Meadowhall have been the two nearest guesses so far
