No - two Bradford stations didn't close in 1964.
But you're close, though.

As there's been only one response, perhaps a clue would help:-
In my original post, I deliberately said "the town with which I share a name", for this station, although nearby and including the title of the original town in its name, was built, not intending to be a direct replacement for that town's two stations which closed, but to serve a different market.

OK - final clue:-
Think of Children in Need.

Research indicates that Pudsey Lowtown and Pudsey Greenside closed in 1964, and New Pudsey opened in 1967. So I appear to be correct.
My clue.
I'm named after a nearby village X, although I'm actually in another village called "X Station". I used to be named after a slightly further away town Y, as "Y Road", but changed my name when Y got a station of its own on a different line built by the same company that built me.

Tring?

Very good guess, but King's Nympton (né South Molton Road) was LSWR and South Molton was GWR.
Not aware of Tring being called anything other than Tring. (Also Tring is more of a town than a village.)

this station is over a mile from the centre of the (smallish) town that it is named after, and is actually in a separate village (though the whole area is built up these days) and was named after that until the station in the centre of town was closed in the 1960s.
It has 2 platforms and is served by 2 TOCs.

Tiverton Parkway?

Not Tiverton Parkway - this station has been continuously open since the 19th century.

Long Eaton is correct
This station is in the North of England.
When it was opened on its first site, a member of a now-famous literary family worked there.
On its second site, it had a splendid Tudor-style frontage, which was destroyed by fire, and the station now just has two platforms.
What is the name of the station, and for a bonus point, can you name the member of the literary family?

I'm thinking of a station - two in fact.
Each is at the end of a branch line off the same mainline
As the crow files they are about 16 miles apart - by road about 22 miles
By rail they are about 35 miles - maybe a little more - and if a through train were to be run it would need at least 4 reversals
Where are we?

Scarborough & Whitby ?

Gunnislake and Looe is more likely
