Lichfield Trent Valley? Even though I think it only has 3 platforms

Lichfield Trent Valley is the answer.

Apologies for the incorrect clue regarding number of platforms (my Quail Track Map showed p.3 and 4 on the high level route, whereas the National Rail Enquiries map now shows only p.3 in use). The single diesel train stopping at LTV is 1K77, VT's 2200 Euston - Crewe which is normally scheduled for a Voyager.

185143 has the floor.
