Oh.
I didn't know they made cider there. Does it come in those boxes like you can get 3 litres of wine in?

Aye, although there's a place on the A4 parallel to the line where you fill your own with plastic milk jugs and similar.
OK, here's another one. Town has two stations bearing its name. One two platform through station, other three platforms. Three platform one has a junction immediately to the east. Both have frequent services to the nearby big city, those going from the three platform station going via two different routes. The stations are connected by a single track chord, over which there is an hourly service.

Well, it's not the answer :P
The mainline's electrified, and the only trains that stop are electrics.
Or maybe Currie(hill)?

Balls. Rules out Mexborough and Curriehill.

In what sense is it a separate town within a city? Does it have its own local authority? Is it a separate post town in the postcode address file?

Hessle doesn't fit as both NT and TPE services stop there and there's a 4th operator EC assuming they still run the one a day Hull.
4SRKT: Worcester?

Not sure
Tbh, I don't know it that well. But it's within the city limits (assuming you use the ring road to define them).

Nope
The trains that stop are not used on any other line, but a similar design is used in quite a few other places.
(I'm not including the run to the depot)

Yes, it's Musselburgh.
Although, I think Wallyford could have also been an answer.

Although Wallyford, despite having an amusing name (although not as amusing as 'Brunstane', which sounds like a description of a Scotsman's underpants
), isn't the 'separate town' of your description, which Musselburgh fits. Wallyford is part of Musselburgh.--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
OK, my question is still in play.
Another clue: the three platform station is unmanned and very run down, although was once a major calling point on the first trans-pennine railway.

Indeed, but before the part of being within the bypass, it would've mostly fitted :P
It's also where the aerial was pinched off my car last week (about 14 cars had had them nicked)

You'd be quite likely to get your aerial pinched (and a lot worse besides) at the unmanned, run down, three platform station in my current poser.......

It's a very small city, has one railway station and is on a dual track mainline. Two TOCs operate services stopping there, this used to be three until very recently. A branch line starts at the station going in the down direction and the station is at the end of a viaduct.
