If the following sentences are both correct, do they mean the same thing?

1) Could you pick me up at/from the station?

2) Could you come and pick me up at/from the station?

If so, which would you use?

Also, don't you think that the verb "come" is redundant in sentence #2?

Finally, should I say "AT the station" or "FROM the station"?

Thank you.

/I wonder if, even before you think about goin' out to the car, go into our bathroom, or wherever you like doin' it best, and.... Only then go out to get me/
