Really! :lol:

Okay, here's my one:

I have three platforms, with routes leading in three directions; one of the platforms can only be accessed by a line that has a 1/2 hourly service most of the day. I also have a direct service to London.

A disambiguation clue is needed.

Lichfield TV if the route north is discounted as not normally having a service?

Nope

Nope

This station has direct services to seaside destinations in two directions within 30mins.
The third direction trains take a very long time to reach the other destination at the end of its line.

Once one of the rare breed of triangular stations - but after 1965 served one route only. Just one platform operational, staffed and with a passing loop nearby, but not actually at the station.

Ambergate is unstaffed - as is the other likely candidate Bishop Auckland. According to National Rail anyway

It is Forres, sorry, I've been away. It is still staffed unlike the other candidates and the peculiarity about the passing loop is also unique (it's to the east of the Station rather than AT the station) AFAIK.

Ok, finally !

From this station it is only possible to reach one other station without reversing. It was closed saround 1970, but reopened again in the 1980s.

Have I stumped you all, or is it just that no-one is interested ?!

Just to say that I won't be logging in at all tomorrow, as I'm away in the Scottish borders.

Well logically the station has to be a terminus, with a service that goes non-stop to another terminus, or to a junction station where the branch platform is a terminal bay and the branch has no direct access to the mainline.

Somewhere like Stourbridge Town - but that hasn't closed and reopened.

So yes stumped - at least for now

Looks like we need ANOTHER clue

This station was formerly electrified, but lost it's electrification in the 1960s

I have 4 platforms, of which I have services to two separate stations in the same town/city. Two of the platforms are electrified and 5 types of rolling stock serve me (I think).
