Newhaven Harbour?

Correct
Your floor

Newhaven harbour is served only by southern. It has two platforms, I explained i went to southease which is close to Newhaven and is therefore within a morning commute, I can see it from my house - you can use the location to the left on my profile.

That is an interesting place to live. Three stations within walking distance (although only two have a passenger service) and an international ferry terminal.

Clue 1: This station is in a landlocked county.

Clue 3: You can only buy tickets from this station to one other station. If you attempt to buy a ticket to anywhere else the ticket will be printed as from "xxxx stations" rather than the station name of this station.

Stourbridge Town is the only station i can think of that could give a ticket to only one destination - Stourbridge Junction. No idea otherwise :P

Clue 3 - the service frequency at this station is greater than half-hourly (that is to say more than 2 trains an hour in each direction)

Clarification request: Are we referring here to every single train operated by said TOC, or only those serving the station in question?

Still quite a few possibilities left over even after 5 clues, I have to say...

Neither of those, GTR at the moment still has guards.

There's certainly a few, but in my defence there's no obligation to narrow it down to one. Also I made the last clue unintentionally vague, I should have made clear that the other station's name is made up on more than one word. RJ21 is the closest
