Should anyone be interested, the two remaining clues would have been:

Clue 4: This station has seven platforms.

Clue 5: This station is controlled by one of the oldest still-operational power signalboxes on the network, opened in 1962. (Off the top of my head, only Dumfries (1957) and Plymouth (1960) are older....but somebody may be able to correct me!)

Your turn to take the Dundee Corridor!
