Looks like a railway station (even including timetable) single track. No signals apparent.

It looks very rural - almost to the extent of being 'remote' and way out in the country, miles from anywhere.

Not sure on the definition of Rural for over there, but it was in a bustling touristy/walker type place.

No, just a regular train station that I know of. My sister had an air B&B cottage in the town.

Went there once, many years ago.

Have to be o/h sadly.

I am in the forest, in the far north (of Finland), for the next couple of weeks and don't have access to photos.
