Query: Is this hand a good candidate for triple barrel bluff? I felt that villain has been a bit of calling station and the bluff may not work hence gave it up on the river. A big bet say pot size might have been able to take villian off the hand. Please share your views?

Against a calling station I think you just shut down on the turn.

I agree. The question is not whether this hand is appropriate for a third barrel bluff, but rather if villain is appropriate for a third barrel bluff. And the answer to that question is no. For this kind of villain, I'm confident no betsize would have been big enough to convince him to fold his TP.

Pre-flop is pretty thin given your position on the table, and I would just fold.

2/3 pot CB into 3 players(one of whom is a station) is a mistake.

The double-barrel is also a mistake for several reasons. When SB XCs flop a big % of his range is Jx/8x and those hands are never folding to 1/2 turn bet. Also your equity when called sucks. If you feel the need to have DB bluff range at least have As2s for BDNFD NOT some random air bluff.

Is the SB or the UTG the calling station?
After a player has limped, if you are going to play (especially with a speculative hand), please raise for more than 3x, or you give everyone easy odds to call.
If you have an opponent pegged as a calling station, there are better ways to win than bluffing.
And if you have your opponent pegged as tight or solid, i don't think triple barrel bluffing into a paired board is a good idea either.
