I reckon that's a Rugex/Footex heading to Cardiff on the Marches, so my guess is Abergavenny.

No. Headingley doesn't have a footbridge. Access is via steps to a path that goes under the station. Also the area around Headingley is built-up.

Ah yes of course and the building next to on the platform is bigger

abergavenny?

If you look closely at the station sign on the left platform, it looks like a Northern sign

I'm 200% sure that's on Northern territory, so I'll say Garsgrave? (That is a random guess, there was no logic in that, it's deffo not in my neck of the woods though :D)

It's not Gargrave, which doesn't have staggered platforms and doesn't have a footbridge (access is via steps to a road bridge)

It doesn't have to be your own 'photo, see #691.

I've seen much harder entries with a tiny bit of blurred platform (I don't like those entries), with this photo there are many clues; dilapidated footbridge, staggered platform, old station building, rural setting & hills in the background. The lack of electrification and lamppost colour rule certain places out. I won't comment on private 'MSN' conversations.

East Garforth opened in 1987, this station is rather older than that. Also East Garforth does not have staggered platforms.

It seems pointless to try and use a photo where the person posting it doesn't even know where it is.

True. How are we going to know if we guess the right answer?
I will post and tell you if it is the right answer (unless someone beats me to it!) ;)

As I said above, I am not going to discuss a private conversation via MSN/PM/whatever on a public forum, however I can assure you it is not "pointless" to try, where is your guess?

Hmm, it's obviously Northern hence the style of waiting shelter and the poster, it's in a rural area, it has a bag/bin which is against GMPTE policy so it rules out Greater Manchester, the architecture of the building suggests Midland so I'm guessing it's on the S&C or somewhere near Sheffield.
