Cherry Cross Station is a Mer-Line station located in Cherry Meadow. It contains the archangel Alice.
Description
The door to Cherry Cross Station's archangel is unlocked, however too small for the player to enter. To the right is an elevator which falls apart, trapping the player in a cramped room. The trials in each room must be cleared by changing sizes, by growing bigger from eating the cake and turning smaller from the bottled potion.
1st Room
Grow large with the cake to move the nearby boulder, then shrink with the bottle to proceed through the gap revealed.
2nd Room
Become normal size to clear the unique Springheel battle and retrieve tiny crates, you will need one placed against the counter for later. Turn giant to remove the crate from the upper shelves, then shrink to climb the countertop and shelves towards the top lever. This powers an elevator which leads to the next area.
3rd Room
Simply cross the field and inspect the gigantic chest, triggering a battle with a Queenyx and Manispear. It holds the White Rabbit Key that will fit the first room's cabinet. Unlock it and flip the newly spawned lever to re-enter the station, doing so while tiny will allow access Platform B. (The lever stays available permanently in case a return trip is needed)

Trivia
Name Origin
Cherry Cross Station is named after Charring Cross on the London Underground.
Other
Cherry Cross Station contains several inspirations and creative references to Alice in Wonderland and its various media adaptations.
- The size-changing mechanics are directly inspired by Alice's adventures, where she would grow from eating the 'Eat Me' Cake and shrink from sipping the 'Drink Me' potion. Each magically appeared for Alice when she first faced a task impossible at at human size.
- The second room's unique Springheel's battle and its opening quote, "You've disturbed a monster's tea party" is an interpretation of the famous "Mad Tea Party" scene. The monsters are each based off of characters from the scene; Scampire represents the Hatter, Thwackalope represents the March Hare, and Muskrateer represents the Dormouse.
- The Queenyx in the Giant cache battle and the opening quote, "Queenyx wants your head" are references to the major antagonist of the series; the Queen of Hearts. "Off with their head!" is one of her most famous quotations, which she uses to threaten Alice or others who disappoint her with execution. The Manispear could be imitating the role of one of the Queen's royal guards.
