Thanks, I was initially getting airport boundary vibes but took me too long to work out it wasn’t in the central belt.
Onwards and upwards….
Are we standing on / looking at a platform?

Sitting on a train beside a platform. Hence the yellow line in the bottom corner.
May I remind you that a guess at a station name gets a clue.

Clapham Junction
(I'll get my coat)
More seriously somewhere on the Settle-Carlisle line.
Of note is the new platform surface with modern drainage BUT all on a period bridge.

Clapham Junction would be closer than your serious guess

Getting colder now. Here’s another picture further down the platform.

Let me possibly help by saying it’s not a Northern station

That colour scheme is familiar but I cannot recall what TOC it is.

Sorry but your certainty is misplaced as it isn’t Letchworth and isn’t on the GN/FCC.
However, Letchworth and this place may have both had the same paint scheme under the initial swathe of franchises…

Hmm, interesting.
The brickwork seems to suggest down near London with that yellow colour, its fairly rural and there is a norman style church which looks like it is potentially clad in flint in the background, which suggests we are in the land of chalk somewhere...

Not there and nowhere on SWR due to the pink signage.

The photo reminds me of Mitcham Junction.

I was wondering about Thorpe Bay

Now the closest so far but not the correct answer unfortunately
Recap:
Clapham Junction - no
Settle-Carlisle line - no, Clapham Junction closer
Dilton Marsh - getting colder now
Northern Trains - no
Great Northern/FCC network....Letchworth Garden City - no, and no, but Letchworth may have had the same paint scheme in the 'initial swathe of franchises'
Staines - no, and not SWR, note magenta/pink 'Gents' sign
Thorpe Bay - closest so far.
The Magenta/Pink branding suggests c2c
Tilbury Town?
Clapham Junction - no
Settle-Carlisle line - no, Clapham Junction closer
Dilton Marsh - getting colder now
Northern Trains - no
Great Northern/FCC network....Letchworth Garden City - no, and no, but Letchworth may have had the same paint scheme in the 'initial swathe of franchises'
Staines - no, and not SWR, note magenta/pink 'Gents' sign

Oddly enough I had looked at loads of C2C stations a while back and ruled them out but think I missed Benfleet! Okay next one…

York, bay platform for Scarborough.
Is that a birds nest in the canopy ?.

No it’s not there! Yes could be a birds nest…hadn’t noticed that! This station isn’t in Yorkshire.

Yes it is indeed…thought it wouldn’t last long!
