Nope! Though you're getting warmer.
Here's an alternative angle of the station from the same day I was there.

It was the Hennapyn Road bridge that gave it away. Historic England says:
Probably 1892. Limestone abutments, snecked and rock-faced with ashlar quoins and stringcourse; cast-iron bridge and parapet balustrade. Single-span bridge with segmental arched cast-iron girders, 9 set parallel closely together, the outer girders having fielded-panel, recessed spandrels. The fine cast-iron balustrade above has large acanthus leaves, interlacing and small cast-iron posts at the junction of each of the 3 panels, and a cast-iron torus-moulded string below which continues in stone in the abutments, which have piers with a pronounced batter and pyramid caps. The abutments have parapets with terminal piers with similar caps.
Tempting as it is to use your fine photo as a starting point for a new thread 'Stations with Victorian Rock Gardens on their Platforms', we had better move on.....

Thanks. Nothing suitable to hand at the moment, so open floor please.
Neither HS2 nor HS1 were ever planned to run through this station.

It is Preston, take a bow @richard1976. North end of platform 3a, in an arch beneath Fishergate Station Approach. I had a lot more clues lined up!
