4 Malvern?
6 Filton? Although I thought it now had 3 platforms.

I think 6 is Yate. 4 could have been Great Malvern but Malvern Wells station has been closed for a number of years.

I like to travel. It lets me feel I'm getting somewhere.

I remain fairly sure that Worthing answers all the clues correctly for (4) ... but it's a long way from normal FGW^▸ territory, so may not be what Rick had in mind.

6 is Worthing Grahame, Well Done.

Worthing sees just as many FGW^▸ services that Melksham does Grin

In fact, on Sundays it receives more!!!!

And 4 is Yate, well done all! Kiss

Quote from: Rick

1) I have the word "St" in my station name
I have 2 platforms
I am served exclusively by FGW^▸
However XC^▸ trains, pass through me, as well as SWT^▸ 's

1) is Exeter St Thomas

2) I am located on the waterfront, with a ferry service from me
I have 2 platforms
I am served exclusively by FGW
XC trains pass through me

2) is Starcross

From the clues given, number 1 could have been Starcross as well!

Starcross doesn't have the word "St" in it. It has the letters S and T, but not the word "St"!

So you've never heard of Saint Arcross, the Patron Saint of Masonry Cleaners, then? http://www.touchbristol.com/business/list/bid/3771712

And don't try pretending he doesn't exist, because in a couple of days time you'll be able to Google him
