Yes. Correct answer

The only British railway station mentioned in the Bible [unless you know differently!]

 

[Seacook]

The only British railway station mentioned in the Bible [unless you know differently!]

All Saints?

 

[D841 Roebuck]

…and the fourth plague the Lord sendest against the land of Egypt was a plague of fireballs, and there was much burnage therein...

Or maybe

…and the fourth son of Shem was called Drem. He respecteth not his father and was exiled to the land of the Pictites…

 

[Welshman]

Seacook - While "All Saints" is a biblical concept, particularly in the book of Revelation, I don't know of a station specifically named "All Saints" - sorry.

D841Roebuck:-
The 10 plagues visited upon Egypt [according to the Book of Exodus] were:-
blood, frogs, lice, flies, pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and the death of the firstborn.

No fireballs, but I guess Cecil B. DeMille would have wished there were!

But you had me going for a minute with Drem, the lesser-known son of Shem.

According to the genealogy of Abraham in Genesis 10v.22 & 23, Shem's sons were:-
Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud & Aram.
So, sorry, no "Drem", although it does sound like he should have been one of Shem's sons, and it was extremely remiss of Shem not to name one of them as such.

So, good attempts, highly original, imaginative and very amusing, but.... sorry.

Time for a clue perhaps.

This station is mentioned in the New Testament, so no need to trawl the endless genealogies of the Old [unless you really want to!].

 

[plymothian]

Well there's Derbe/Derby

 

[Welshman]

And also Lystra [Leicester], the hometown of Timothy.
St Paul was thought to have visited both Derbe and Lystra.

A good answer, but not strictly correct. Sorry,

I said this station was "mentioned" in the New Testament, but think more widely than simply concentrating on New Testament place-names.

If it were a football question, I'd have gone for Queen Of The South.

I'd wager it's something like St John's

 

[D841 Roebuck]

I suspect it may not be the answer you're looking for, but is Ecclesiastes a New Testament Book?

And, from the Song of Solomon, we have Thine eyes are like the Fishpools in Heshbon, by the gates of Bath-rabbin - which, unlike Drem bin Shem, is a genuine quote!

Yes, there are several stations where New Testamant names feature as a suffix - eg Bedford St John's; Exeter St Thomas or Liverpool James St.

But it's none of these - it's the main station name which is mentioned.

I suspect it may not be the answer you're looking for, but is Ecclesiastes a New Testament Book?

And, from the Song of Solomon, we have Thine eyes are like the Fishpools in Heshbon, by the gates of Bath-rabbin - which, unlike Drem bin Shem, is a genuine quote!

Unfortunately, neither Ecclesiastes nor the Song of Solomon are New Testament books.

You're all coming-up with highly imaginative suggestions, and I fear the answer may prove a bit of an anti-climax.

Let me repeat what I said earlier - don't think of names of New Testament people or places. I simply said it's mentioned in the New Testament.

Further clue:-

The station is managed by Northern [NT], {which is appropriate as it's mentioned in the NT!}

 

[D841 Roebuck]

Ben Rhydding sounds a bit biblical (and a lot more likely than the hens all laying lots of eggs to feed the 5000 )

 

[Welshman]

Final clue:-
This station's name is a virtue.

So, to sum-up we have:-
This station is mentioned in the New Testament;
It's the main name of the station and not a suffix;
It isn't a New Testament name of a person or place.
It's managed by Northern.
It's name is a virtue.

 

[Seacook]

Final clue:-
This station's name is a virtue.

So, to sum-up we have:-
This station is mentioned in the New Testament;
It's the main name of the station and not a suffix;
It isn't a New Testament name of a person or place.
It's managed by Northern.
It's name is a virtue.
