Was Rowling inspired by the railway station scene in Prince Caspian?

I was rereading Prince Caspian and noticed that in the start of the story they're in

an empty, sleepy country station, and there was hardly anyone on the platform but themselves

and then they're magically pulled away to Narnia from there (and at the end, they end up back on the platform).

Is it possible Rowling was inspired by this to have wizards and witches head to Hogwarts from a railway platform?
