Is 20 St Erth?

4 - you can still see the platforms are separated by a wide track bed. This is evidence of its broad gauge origins. The line from Yeovil Pen Mill to Evershot was doubled in 1859 to help with timekeeping over Evershot bank. The narrowing of the gauge took place in 1874, only Bruton shows the same width between platforms

Some great ideas from around the South West that could be replicated elsewhere and become more common:
1. A bus stop near the station (from Starcross)
7. A train to the seaside every half hour (from Exmouth)
15. A booking office (from Temple Meads)
18. A re-opened station (from Okehampton)
21. A passing loop with 2 platforms on the same side (from Penryn)
