Clue 4: Some but not all of the trains at this station run by precisely 1 of the TOCs that serves it cross an international border (the England-Scotland and England-Wales borders are included in my definition of an international border). At least 1 other TOC calls which does not run anything from here across an international border.

Clue 5: This station is situated near the former site of a closed station, and a nearby signal box carries the name of said closed station.

I very much suspect that the track at Telford Ctl is track circuited and electrified, given the length of the stretch of line controlled by Madely Jn box.

Indeed it wasn't. It was meant to mean the more obvious - no overhead wires or third-rail capable of supporting electric trains.
