i can put one up if there's someone to PM the answer to

edit: ok then, i'll put one up for tomorrow, if someone thinks they definitely have it u might as well just move on if I'm not back by tomorrow night

3 platforms, 4 operators, now part of a freight diversion and mentioned in a song.

(think this'll be easy)

neither, but getting closer. this might need more clues. the last two might help - it's been on a 'freight diversion' since the 1980s.

I have one platform yet I am a terminus station. I only have an hourly service.

No, but two are in the right country - it is operated by ATW. You walk from the platform into a shopping centre.

isnt portsmouth harbor 5 platforms? or is that just some error with numbering?

anyways
this station has 7 platforms, of which 3 of them can be used for through running. Despite this, 2 of these are used for terminating services, the lower once hourly (bar peaks), the higher four times hourly
There is only one train per hour (per direction) that runs through, without reversing (in the off-peak hours), every other service must either reverse or terminate

RyanB's one can take priority, but i do want this one doing!

9 Platforms, Terminus for several services, through for others, relatively central, yet quite confined, it also has a second name. So tell me, what station am I thinking of?

Is it Sheffield (Midland)?
