Nor there….funnily enough I thought this one would go straight away!

It's not Gatwick Airport is it? Away from the main roof area?

No, this station is not served by any other TOCs.

No, this station isn’t in East or West Sussex.

Ah.... then it must be the country end of Balham..... and a wide angle lens is making the platforms look wider than they are...?

It is indeed the country end of Balham, looking towards London.
Just taken on my common old iPhone though!

The chimney sticking up in the background rang a bell with me... that side of the station is one of the few major places in the middle of London that hasn't been ruined with modern architecture yet!! 
I'm delving into my archives again for the next one...
Once upon a time, I found 73 109 and 930 202 parked up at a specific station... which one? There's more than enough clues here...

Thank you - it was a station I used to stop at a lot in my youth in South Yorkshire.
Here's my one:

It looks like a northern station presumably in area of red sandstone, so we are talking most likely cumbria coast north of st bees, some of the newcastle carlisle line, or possibly in cheshire somewhere

Got there eventually. It's Harrington, though why the sign on the fence says '2' in your picture and '1' in the Streetview picture is a bit of a mystery.Here's my one:

Interesting! A trawl of youtube suggests that this was indeed wrong in 2022 when the streetview images were taken but was fixed by summer 2023.
Looks like prior to the wrong sign being put up there wasn't any signage for platform numbers.
The wrong signage probably dates from the rebrand c.2021. https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...itish-railways-design-rail-alphabet-2.220286/

It's not Cardiff Central is it?
Of course it is! The green wooden canopy is distinctive, and the 'no smoking' notice (far right) is bilingual.
