I'm thinking of a station...

OK they are on the same line and are served by the same train(s). The line itself has a far more frequent service. Any help?
And here's me thinking it would be too easy.....

It looks as though I've made it too difficult/obscure/boring so I'll give the answer and retire gracefully.
The answer I was after was 'the Oxfordshire halts', being Finstock, Combe and Ascott-under-Wychwood, each having one train a day Mon-Fri to/from Oxford, and Shipton, which has an extra to Oxford, and several from (though one is currently a bus) plus a Saturday service as well.

Who's doing the next question?
I'll go next if no-one's bothered

Hang on a sec; I think they all have day returns to both Wigan and Manchester, on both routes (Walkden/Bolton)?

Fair enough; my mistake 
Would that not be Ince then?

Clifton?
Clifton was a complete guess, I've never been anywhere near it and have no knowledge of the railways in that area. 
My turn:
My turn:
- 2 Platforms
- Opened in 1852
- On the OW&WR
- About 20,000 commuters from this station in 2008/09
Nope, not bad though

Nope, haven't even heard of that one, where is it?
It's in Kent on the South Eastern Main Line, a village I think. Thought I'd throw in the wildcard!

It doesn't exist. Another Canterbury North Lane moment there!
My guess is Moreton-in-Marsh.

This is Canterbury North Lane all over again!
EDIT: Matt and I appear to have thought the same thing. I think I need to pay a visit to the "Addicted to RailUKForums" thread
Where do you get these from HST Power?
Make sure you check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford,_Worcester_and_Wolverhampton_Railway before guessing the South East again.
My guess is Hartlebury. Touch wood. Open floor if so.
LOOK UP! ^^ ^^

Not Evesham then.... Moreton-in-Marsh...?
Technically I know it has three platform faces, but only two of them are signalled for passenger movements!
Beaten to it by two minutes
Unfortunately...No
Well I can assure you mine is an open station
I will give another clue soon
I was aware of the circumstances of the station and it's line.

Sorry HST, didn't mean anything by it. So you have an old map of the SE railway then, I was wondering?
NOTE:
Well someone's on the ball
Any more guesses?

Nope, but I've been into Kent many times and seen the road where the station used to be. There's a couple of houses down there now.
No problemo!
