This town has two stations, both at the end of branch lines. One is electrified, one is not, and both branches eventually terminate at different terminii, although I believe one has no direct services.

Really must do something about that banning idea...

Hehehe!
On a similar theme, this place also has two terminus stations, one electrified, the other not. Neither station is on its original site, and services at the diesel station don't terminate there: everything has to reverse.

so this town has 4 stations actually in the town, one just outside, and could have had three more, only one station actually carries the towns name, it is on a busy route and has a junction at one end, where is it?

o.k I'll make it a bit easier
so this town has 4 stations actually in the town, one just outside, and could have had three more if the beeching cuts hadn't occurred, only one station actually carries the towns name, it is on a busy route and has a junction at one end, and it starts with an M where is it?

I didn't realise that Bletchley was considered a part of Milton Keynes, so I was doubtful.
Okay, here's one. It has a long tunnel and once had two stations. There is cider made here and to call it a town would be a bit of an exaggeration.

It is a separate town within the city. It has a 2 track mainline passing through, and 3 TOCs pass through the station, but only one TOC's trains stop there. It is mostly served by 1 class of train (it can be a couple of others if there is a failure).

Nope.
Has anyone answered this yet?
Give us another clue...
I didn't set it. I don't know the answer either, because I don't know much about cider making.

Okay that was a tad ambiguous, the railway tunnel was the longest in the world when opened and it is on a busy two track mainline.

I have a feeling this isn't in the UK...
I'm guessing it must be in the West Country somewhere due to the cider connection, but as the only cider places I can think of are Hereford and Taunton (and Stroud for fans of Laurie Lee), and it clearly isn't either of them, I'm stumped.
I'm also struggling to think of any genuinely long tunnels on the Western Region, except Box and the Severn Tunnel, but they don't fit either.
