Death in these sort of games you usually wait the person to confirm you are correct.

Sorry about that...I was kind of "on a roll" when I solved Coxsters one, and thought that posting a screenshot as proof would save a lot of time. :|
Sorry about that, Coxster! :)

--- Old bit above / New bit below: ---

The station in question is not Longford. :)

Clue 1: The line through the station carries heavier than ideal passenger trains that take their power from the OHLE. :)

Nope again, I'm afraid... :(

Clue 03: Oddly enough - Despite the size of the average railway station - Ye might actually be able to find this one somewhere in thy kitchen...But generally speaking, only if ye are the member of the middle or upper-classes! :D8);)

Hmmm...Strange how everyone seems to neglect a game thread if I'm running the current round... :roll:<(

Anyhow, your fourth and most blatantly obvious clue:
This station gets mentioned an awful lot on the Antiques Roadshow... ;)

Somewhere between Crewe and Holyhead? Trying to think of an electric train not under the wires, all I can think of.

Hail All! <D
As no-one's still figured out the station, here's a quick clue summary and some more details:
  • Carries heavier than ideal OHLE powered passenger trains (Pendos)
  • You're looking in the wrong place. Try the other side... (WCML)
  • Named after something ye might find in a middle or upper-class kitchen,
  • This name gets mentioned an awful lot on the Antiques Roadshow... (Related to the prev. clue)

Nope...The answer lies somewhere between Wolverhampton and Macclesfield... ;)

If ye still can't figure it out after this array of clues, I'm gonna start posting OS grid references! :shock::roll::lol:

Has Wedgwood got a station? Stafford
It's Wedgewood, as in Wedgewood China.
Aye, it's Wedgwood Station, just south of Stoke. Head south from platform 1 and ye can't miss it - The factory is on your left. 8)

Now I'm a bit perplexed as to who won that one as I'm reading Will1337's post as a double-guess (Is it Wedgwood? Stafford) whereas Me123's reply was later, but also direct and non-ambiguous. To make it easy for me as I need to get a mug o' slops on the go, I'm going to flip the token in the air and the game goes to the first of those two to post their station. 8)

Farewell... <D

I can post an image, have done so many times before, just can't get the image from multimap (or any aerial image finder that I know of) onto my computer.

So, where's this, then?

Enlarged the photo, hence the edit.
