My feeling is that this is probably a 2 track Southern/Southeastern station. There could be more tracks hiding though... The red bus BurtonM spotted makes me agree it's likely in London, but we can't see it clearly and you do get partially red buses elsewhere...

I'll have a think...

The grey lamppost and fence look like Merseyrail paintwork to me. The red bus could easily be a red herring. Bebington?

Thanks for the clue, that could have gone on some time. I shall now revert to backontracks suggest of the bus being a bus rather than a herring.

Sanderstead? The grey paint is puzzling, unless there is some nice grey paint to go with the grey staff uniforms of the new franchise.

Nope, not there

It certainly appears a leafy suburb. I might have a better idea after a good night's sleep.

None of those.

You are right in that it is a leafy suburb.

I think I may have confused people slightly with my Southernland comment. I was referring to the BR Southern region and Southern Railway of Sir Herbert Walker rather than the Johnny-come-lately franchise operator called Southern.

I took your hint as you intended, I was just having a punt with the grey lamppost. I think it it were on the Western division it would be either NSE red or the blue that SWT seem to like, so we shall now move onto the Eastern division. Eden Park?

I don't really have a guess except to be random and say Welling, but I'd be quite surprised if this was not on the 'Southeastern' side of the beautiful south.

It depends on how long you wish this to carry on. At the minute my only viable tactic is to name Southern Region stations within the London Buses area that don't have an island platform.

Hildenborough?

I know it's not strictly in the London Buses area, but I've seen replacement buses run using London buses leaving Sevenoaks for stations (or rather, station) to Tonbridge
