Trains from London pass through but do not stop.

My branch provided a service to a beauty spot and a hotel.

The only one I can think of fails the 'no through trains to London' clue

The only one I can think of fails the 'no through trains to London' clue

Trains pass through me to London but don't stop.

 

[dzug2]

Got it I think - Aldrington

though it does see the odd (non-stop) diesel

 

[Smudger105e]

Aldrington is correct, previously Dyke Junction Halt.

 

[dzug2]

Better make it open floor

 

[backontrack]

I'll take it.

1). I have featured as an answer on 'Letter by Letter'.

 

[FQ]

Horsforth?

 

[backontrack]

2). I have never been a correct answer on 'Guess the Station'.

 

[Gathursty]

Exton?

 

[backontrack]

3). I have never been mentioned on the Rolling Stock Game.

 

[Trainfan344]

Highbridge and Burnham?

 

[dzug2]

Whittlesea

(A random guess to keep the game going - not a hope of solving it any other way)

4. On the next station is...!, this station might follow the station code of SLO.

 

[dzug2]

Langley

 

[backontrack]

5. It's General Knowledge, though not Railway General Knowledge, that this station is also a Labour Party politician's surname.

 

[dzug2]

I went the wrong way then - Burnham

 

[backontrack]

No, it's...

Just joking. Correct answer - you get the floor.

 

[dzug2]

Could have been Windsor I suppose


1 I am south of Birmingham

 

[backontrack]

Wow, it actually could have been...

Moreton (Dorset)?

 

[dzug2]

2 I am an unstaffed halt with two platforms

 

[Smudger105e]

Fishersgate

 

[dzug2]

3 As a rough generalisation, twice as many trains (run by one TOC) pass through me non-stop as stop (run by a different TOC)

 

[clagmonster]

Mortimer?

 

[dzug2]

4. I am a new build station from the 1990s. I replaced an older nearby station that had closed many years earlier
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
This seems to have gone dead, so I'll post a final clue that might make it easier

5. The station I replaced was the junction for a branch which, figuratively speaking, had equine motive power

 

[martinsh]

I think this is Cam & Dursley.

 

[dzug2]

I think this is Cam & Dursley.

Correct - your floor

 

[martinsh]

Clue 1 : this station is north of Birmingham

 

[FQ]

Crewe?
