None of the above. Different character means different function, which I should have said - apologies.

(1) This station lies between two level crossings of different character.
(2) This station formerly had a junction to its north preceding the next station on the main route.

(3) This station is en route between two cities which were originally in two different counties but now lie within the same one.

(4) Three stations have carried the name of this settlement (three separate villages). One of the other stations is now closed, after also carrying the name as a suffix, and the third has fairly recently reverted to its original name after carrying the name as a prefix for 66 years.

(5) This station is served by a Light Rail company but heavy rail passenger trains of another TOC pass through on a daily basis.

Dunno. Hampton in Arden?
No.

Answer was East Boldon.

(1) Station Road crossing, originally controlled by tower signal cabin adjacent to station north side. Bluehouse crossing (farm track/footpath) a few hundred yards to the south, originally manned by crossing keeper with gates normally against the road.
(2) Tilesheds Junction for the South Shields branch.
(3) Sunderland (Durham) and Newcastle (Northumberland) now both in Tyne & Wear.
(4) (West) Boldon now closed on a different line, Brockley Whins (formerly Boldon Colliery) still open to the north on the Metro line.
(5) Tyne & Wear Metro but Northern trains pass through on the Durham coast route.

The floor is now open...
