The answer I was after was Hayes and Harlington..

The 2 TOCs worries me a bit; on the map I'm looking at Heathrow Connect is shown as part of FGW...
On the London Connections map, Heathrow Connect is a separate TOC, and that's what I use for London stuff in the quiz forum.

OK, I think it's another go for me, if Scott doesn't agree that HC is a seperate TOC, I'm happy to take my punishment.

Clue 1: This station is electrified.

Clue 5: This station has a 3 word name.

EDIT: Gnolife posted the right answer while I was typing the last clue, Smethwick Rolfe Street is 100% correct :)

Oh, and sorry for the big load of free chatter that came with clue 3 - that was me attempting to cover my backside if someone felt like arguing about what Intercity is
