Very 'quaint', isn't it
It is, but it is as a country station should be like really. Sadly it is a rarity.
Your local train station

I suppose this would be mine:
There's also a tram line/stop here now. I don't really use it, but it's the closest to me and I have gotten the train there to get to the out-of-town retail park that isn't actually out of town - town planning at its best. Nowadays I just cycle, unless I'll need to carry something heavy home - in those situation I convince the other half to go.

Minimalist!
Who needs toilets, or coffee shops, or waiting rooms... Or even benches!
Or ticket machines
It does sometimes have trains. Occasionally.
ETA: looking at that it clearly used to be busier, the two outside lines are now defunct, the inside lines mostly have high speed non stopping trains, steam trains or coal wagons.
It even used to have benches! And maybe a waiting room at the top of the stairs.

Fifty years ago this would have been my local station - Botanic Gardens:
IIRC it was originally called Cemetery Gates, since it was near to the old Western Cemetery, but was renamed before World War I. Keats and Yeates are on your side, and all that.
Long gone now. A bakery sits on the site of the engine shed opposite - emitting nicer fumes than steam engines, it must be said - and there's a pub on the site of the station itself.

You live near my mum then. Glad to hear the tram lines linked to it now, I remember some painfully cold waits at the little bus stop there.

Sadly a lot of British very small station are similar to yours, with just no attempt at providing even basic facilities at all.
