Will have to sit this one out as it wouldn't be a guess.

Spot on grandarog. Over to you.

It is indeed Tenterden station on the Kent & East Sussex Railway. My daughter took me for a day out a few week ago. A splendid day was had by all.
Here are a few more photos and YouTube video if anyone is interested. https://www.facebook.com/Spilt0Milk/posts/pfbid02GqMmQy2ZUJbth7ofc9mjcYg4Pqg7zhg2wuvJb3RUEWsZYF5qb9Q8NiWZE9Wy83gdl

You certainly feel that you have stepped back into history on this "Colonel Stephenson's" light railway.

Although thesignal box looks like the ones at the Wormshill railway was my first thought.
I think it is actually the one trackside at the Tenterden Railway Museum

First, thanks to Stuart

Second, thanks for the link Local Hiker, it has all the location information and saves me a job!

I haven't solved the GTP yet, but it is clearly a heritage line.  "General Manager", semaphore signals, in commission manual signal box and bullhead rail.

Thank you John. I added a map to my post just to clarify.
I am a bit uncomfortable using Google Lens for GTP, but such software and tools are the way of the world these days. Look how AI software and systems are developing.

Anyway, the next GTP photo, taken just a few weeks ago. My camera seems to have smudged any identifying signage.

You have it Local Hiker.  A track to it leads from Hadlow Road (A26) , just out of Tonbridge.  It's also on the long distance path that runs alongside the Medway.

Over to you.

Also a thanks to Stuart from me.  I've quite missed the GTPs.

This looks similar even if it is wrong.

It has had no bites in 10 days. I have found the answer using Google Lens? Before I post, is that allowed?
(Edit 26th September, clearly the site is dormant, so I will not continue interacting with GTP for now)

No security issues this morning so I'm guessing it's fixed.  :)

Local Hiker:   I've just checked with Google Lens and it gave similar results but not the right one. 

Suggest you put your guess in and see if it's correct.  At least it will get things moving again.

I can still log in if I ignore the warnings. I would not have done so if it were not for grandarog's message on September 14, 2023, 05:54:46 PM.
Let's hope that normal service is resumed soon.
