The "Name the Station" game

[Robinson]

Clue 5: This station's annual passenger figures have, at least since 2002/03, been consistently higher than those of another station in the same settlement, which unlike this one is named after the settlement. On Mondays-Saturdays in the evenings the service frequency here is also higher than it is across town.
