The subject line says it all, really. Can anyone identify the station I arrived at last Saturday and departed from on Monday 8 October 2018?

Looks rather neat and tidy, with neither litter nor yellow lines - may I suggest somewhere foreign?

I too wondered if it was the new Kenilworth Station but I had a quick look at it in summer and the building in the photo looks too big. I also wondered if it was the new Cranbrook station in/near Exeter but again I don't recall seeing the design plans as looking that big.

 Certainly not Scandinavian.  Not Norwegian, obviously, although the station name begins with N. And it isn't on the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) network.

Looking at what looks like the phone kiosk I can see it's not in Germany as it's not yellow. It does look northern European, possibly one of the low countries.
