At which currently operating UK station am I? Good luck and you have 20 questions to find me or I may allow more if you can't get it!

Does your station have direct services to London?

Was it covered by the Railways Act of 1921 ?

Was it on the Metropolitan Railway at the time of the grouping?

By Metropolitan Railway is it meant the predecessor to what is now the Metropolitan Line/Chiltern Rail?

this is the line being referred to.

Did the station exist at the time of the Beeching report (27 March 1963)?

I'm not allowed another question, but I just want to confirm what I understand so far: the station did not become one of the "Big Four" (GWR, SR, LMS, LNER) in 1923, but it did become part of British Railways in 1948. Given my limited knowledge of railway history, I'm rather glad someone else has got the next question!
