I'm not sure how I managed this, it was a DfT Category E station, Aigburth

South Parkway is actually category B.

 

[DanTrain]

South Parkway is actually category B.

I did wonder, but Wikipedia wouldn't say and said ticket zone C1/C2, so I kind of assumed!

Try this:
1) This station has 3 platforms

I can't think of any which fit all the rules.

EDIT:
Bradford has two stations, but Forster Square is electrified and Interchange has 4 platforms.
Glasgow has two stations, but they both violate multuple rules.
Neither of the Helensburgh stations quite work either.
Birmingham Snow Hill could work, but the wording of rule 5 suggests that there is only one other station in the settlement.
Wigan Wallgate works save for the direct service to London bit.
St Albans violates various rules, as does Southend (electrification), Maidstone (electrification), Wakefield (direct service), Burnley (not 3 platforms or London), Blackpool (not 3 platforms), Liverpool (everything), St Budeaux (platforms), Yeovil (direct service), Dorchester (platforms/electrification), Farnborough (London/platforms/electrification), New Mills (platforms), Reddish (platforms), Warrington (platforms), St Helens (platforms/electrification), Pontefract (platforms), Livingston (platforms/electrification/London). There are others which I haven't bothered to list because they violate practically everything.

Am I being really blind?

 

[DanTrain]

Grovelling apology coming...

It was Bradford Interchange, but it turns out I got the number of platforms mixed up with Forster Square . You have the floor for that meticulous deconstruction of my clues! Sorry!
