[southern442]

Ebbw Vale Parkway ?

Not a terminus station any more.

I will guess Ebbw Vale Town.

 

[DasLunatic]

Ebbw Vale Town.

Correct.

 

[Springs Branch]

Ok, let's break the hiatus .....

Clue 1: This station is east of Peterborough.

 

[dzug2]

Kennett

 

[Springs Branch]

Clue 2: All stopping trains are electric. Non-stop trains can be either electric or diesel.

 

[DasLunatic]

Carluke?

 

[clagmonster]

Mistley?

 

[Springs Branch]

Clue 3: There are 4 National Rail platforms here. In addition, a non-NR rail transit system has platforms of its own.

 

[clagmonster]

Balham?

 

[Springs Branch]

Clue 4: It's possible to catch a direct train to/from East Croydon.

Balham is still plausible with this latest clue, but it isn't Balham.

Not Elephant (ref Clue 2).
