Before posting the last clue, I'll add extra info to nos. 2 & 3 to see if anyone can solve it with the facts so far.

The clues are:
1: This station is on a line electrified at 25kV.
2: Two TOCs provide the services, one of these being Northern.
3: You can take a direct train to here from Wigan, but not on Sundays and not in the opposite direction. Those interested in parliamentary-type services and covering rare track may like this train.
