you may well be it would make sense
although I can find no records of such i believe that the designer/s (Wilson and or Ashbee) of Norwich Thorpe Station stole the design from the famous Canfranc station in the Spanish Pyrenees User Posted Link
or vice versa but I very much doubt it
Also, it used to house an underground WW2 control room in a tunnel.
Anyway, very nice looking building in my opinion
