I am FGW (First Great Western) served.

I have two platforms. You can catch a train to two destinations from one platform but only one destination from the other.

I have point indicators not signals.

Bourne End

I wondered BUT ... Marlow from one platform. But isn't it Marlow, Maidenhead or Paddington (3) from the other?

I also wondered about Eggesford.  Barnstaple from 1 platform. But Exmouth, Exeter Central, Exeter St Davids from the other.

OK - correction. Marlow and Maidenhead (and perhaps Paddington) from one platform, Maidenhead and Paddington from the other.  So it's not Bourne End.

Perhaps a bit ambiguous on destinations. Had lumped Amidenhead Padd as one destination. It is Bourne End.

Perhaps should have said 2 cars from one platform and 5 cars from other.

was thinking okehampton but technically 3 platforms apart from that it matches as you can only go to one station from plat 2 (meldon) but there are 2 services from platform 3 st james park on sunday and sampford courtnay on saturdays but the meldon service goes from 3 on saturdays so that also rules okehampton out
