Has this STILL not been guessed ?!
I think the answer is Bedford St Johns

Correct - that's the one I was thinking of.
Where's Lochluichart? Between Inverness and Kyle of Lochalsh.....
It had to be relocated in the 1950s due to a hydroelectric scheme - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochluichart_railway_station
Whether it had 2 platforms before it was relocated - I'm not sure!

According to http://www.railbrit.co.uk/Dingwall_and_Skye_Railway/frame.htm there was no loop at the old station, so presumably only one platform.
The possibility of multiple correct answers is always there with this thread though

Don't think this qualifies under the "hourly service" part !!

Seeming as it's open floor...
I have 2 platforms, yet I used to have 4 - the track still remains though. I am on the edge of a junction.

Kings Norton ?
Correct. I was hoping it would last longer; then again, Crewe isn't too far away from Birmingham.

Can I come up with a station?
If so, this is mine,
I am only served by trains on Saturday, 3 in each direction. I have two platforms and some residents don't know I'm here. And if I was to tell you the line it would make this easy.

Brigg and Gainsborough Central both fit the description - the latter is probably the one you want

Hint. Don't select stations that are near to where you live ! I started at Droitwich and worked outwards.

It was infact Brigg, I should of made it a bit difficult for you.
Now it's someone else's turn.
Thanks, Sam
I usually go for a variety around the country but it just so happens I did one in the West Mids.
As for the answer, I think it's on the Cotswold Line; Coome Halt??

Excuse me, I won, I get to call open floor!

I have 2 platforms; I am served by 2 TOCs: the first providing regular 2/3tph stopping services and the other providing inter-regional services (1tph). Fast trains pass though non-stop. Where am I?

oops sorry......
Both places are wrong but gnolife you are half right:
Additional clues -
Northern are the local operator
FTPE are the inter-regional but also some fasts
4 aspect signalling is present and the line isn't electrified.
Indeed it is
This station has the same number of platform as routes that the train can take in either direction, and is the only station between two different junctions. Any route leaving the station in one direction reaches the same terminus, but one route in the other direction reaches its terminus much sooner than the rest.

I'll bet money I'm way out but Crewe?
