Not Earlstown, one last clue for the morning, it's inside my PTE, I'll post the awnser when I get back from Manchester this afternoon...
So,
Within GMPTE
Has had at least 4 names
Has had a junction now covered by a motorway (that lead directly to a Locomotive works)
Has two ToCs serving it, one only in the peaks.

What other TOC calls at Paitcroft other than Northern? The station is served by two TOC's, one at peak times only, you where scarily close with Horwich Parkway. (that is served by two TOCs all the time)

Hmmmm.....
Once I had trains that left in four directions, but now I have one...and a bit.
Not that long ago I had diesel trains, but now I'm going back to steam.
[That last bit should make it obvious]

East Grinstead, surely? Even though he lived there, the good Doctor cut three of its four routes, leaving London via Oxted. The "bit" relates to the Bluebell.

Sorry for taking so long, I've been out, indeed I meant East Grinstead (for the second time this thread...no-one really took me up on it last time, so I almost forgot until I posted that clue. 
) The bit is of course the Bluebell extension that they're panicking about at the moment (massive landfill tax rise coming in April)

Merci
How about this then...
This station is in one of country's largest urban areas to not have a city in it. However, it has a very poor service, as does the next station to the east, and its name would make a rookie think that it would be in Southwark!

A quick visit to another thread indicated the answer maybe Layton, or certainly something nearby...

It may be Layton, but it is not Layton. I can't see how it matches the Southwark clue.
I assume you refer to my city thread?

Yes, you used the exact wording given for Blackpool (well, near enough)!
Poulton-le-Fylde (although that's more Essex) and then I'm going back to have another look.

It is more Essex, isn't it?
What if I said that this station is not in the Blackpool/Fylde conurbation?

Nothing out of the ordinary in that post. No hidden messages, or anything. This isn't the Cryptic Clue thread remember
PMR has far too good a service.

Roose Station ....... to the east is Dalton. On the Barrow line.

Sorry about the delay!
Again, I do not see how Roose could be confused with Southwark. The station in question could easily be assumed to be in Southwark.
