A "long shot" - is it actually Exeter St Davids? While it's possibly an SR‡(resolve) train (not sure if it's a BR▸ (British Rail(ways)) 3MT tank or an Ivatt 2MT), that curving platform and substantial canopy look like a substantial mainline station

Mangotsfield!

Yes - that's the correct guess ... quite a tricky one; it could have been a number of other places.  Sad to see this one gone completely.

Not really a guess! I pass through there fairly often, and that's pretty much the cyclist's eyeline!

There was a good model of the old Mangotsfield Station on display at the Thornbury Model Railway Exhibition earlier this year.

If that's your eyeline, might I suggest some new glasses?
