4. The station saw a named train call for c10 years from 1958. The train still runs but to its 3rd London terminus and not via this station.

Have people read the rules before they post the clues !

The clues are meant to gradually whittle down the number of possible stations. In this case I doubt if more than half a dozen stations meet clues 1 & 2.

BTW, The answer is Retford

 

[Marton]

Point taken.

Yes Retford.
