No, not that one. Hint:- A station in the North of England served by only one TOC.

Ardwick?

That should qualify as the correct answer - but I'm afraid it isn't.
A further hint:- A cunning anagram is involved!

That's a pity, I was going to suggest Forsinard.

OK, further hint (as it's slowly approaching Witching Hour):- Part of this station's name is an Oxford college.

Bootle Oriel Road?

We have a winner!! Taller bride loves 4play!
The anagram indicator is play.
In tennis, 6-0, for example. is Six Love. So "0" = love = "O"
Loves 4... = four "O"s.
Four "O"s + taller bride is an anagram of Bootle Oriel Road.
Well done to D6130 - over to you!

I would have said Silkstone Common but the number of letters is wrong (specifically "n").

Err....yes. it was supposed to be Silkstone Common, but I evidently miscounted my 'n's. Apologies for that. Your floor.
