The track is standard gauge at the station is a clue.

I think there is enough information in the thread now for the station to be findable. I believe its a distinctive environment that this station is in.

Thinking possibly Nagasaki when I heard mention of Kamomen (Kyushu's Shinkansen is Kamome) but their stations are a lot newer than this.

Think this is the little riverside park and picnic area under Shin Kobe.

floor open if correct

Wasn’t a beef, just adding the only clue I could see, and my knowledge of Japanese stations is as sparse as a vegetarian’s plate in a steak restaurant.
I believe the above mention of Beef was a pun on the stations actual location

Correct, the station is Shin-Kobe. and i believe the floor has been declared open.

(For the record there is a very nice walk up from Shin-Kobe station past a lot of waterfalls)

It is very different to a lot of Japanese Shinkansen station, in fact its very different to a lot of Japanese stations!

The first Kamome ran from Kobe to Tokyo, and Kamomen is a mascot character adopted by Kobe.

Correct. Well done - over to you.
I knew it had to be one of the two - despite not having been to Norway for 26 years, when those units were brand-new and only operating the Oslo Airport shuttles

Sorry.... nothing suitable to hand just now, so open floor please.

Got it in one! Over to you. Sorry about the crappy screenshot - I'm in Slovenia at the moment and couldn't suss out how to post the picture as it kept saying 'Wrong Format MEIC'. Any technical help appreciated! Taken a few days ago waiting for the Zagreb - Ljubljiana Train.

Sorry - can't help with that error. I remember the west facing bays at Zagreb - this time last year we were based for a few days in Ljubljana - I needed to get back there for work and and my partner wanted to come back the long way round (via Ogulin and Rijeka ) so we temporarily separated there.

Can't be Terontola as it's not electrified. Although that particular loco is now allocated to Siena, I'm thinking of somewhere on the Calabrian coast. Let's have a stab at Catanzaro Lido.
Not Catanzaro either - sorry. It's not really giving much away to say you (and @Nigel ) are in the correct country - but neither guess is in the right region.
