A curved platform
I am no railbuff, so for all I know curved platforms like this are quite commonplace, but I can't recall having used a station with such a tight bend before. In order to establish if this is in the slightest bit noteworthy I scrolled through a few of the railbuffs' online forums; the results were inconclusive - mostly because the radii of these curves are only available to those with a practical need to know or to those willing to pay a hefty fee - but on one thread somebody did go on about Morpeth station, which doesn't look massively tighter than this one. Therefore I have decided this one is at least worthy of a comment.
Shotts is a small somewhat isolated town, though it is by far the biggest for a few miles in all directions. Although few people will have visited for fun, its name will be familiar to rail commuters from Edinburgh and Glasgow (particularly Edinburgh, which only has one main station, as opposed to Glasgow that has two). The station is on one of the three main commuter routes between Scotland's two main cities. Being roughly halfway along this route, the Southernmost of these three lines always gets announced (and appears on timetables) as 'Edinburgh to Glasgow [or vice-versa] via Shotts'.
The picture is taken looking in the Glasgow direction.
