Re: A train station for DoDo (4.00 / 5)

Ha! This one I guessed right at first sight: Llandudno Junction, looking west on platform 3. (Convay Castle against the Sun, two kinds of platform roof pillars were the giveaways)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: A train station for DoDo (none / 0)

Damn your compression. The name of the station is there for all to see.

Trains, perfume, and why you need a Leica.

Re: A train station for DoDo (none / 0)

BTW, can someone tell where the departure station in the video is? Hints: 1) I featured it in a Train Blogging diary, 2) the real Orient Express never stopped there, 3) reader/s living close by are excluded from contest.

Re: A train station for DoDo (none / 0)

I didn't think I'd ever been there, and I Googled to confirm.

So I think I now know who is disqualified by proximity!

(I am merely disqualified by ~~cheating~~ research.)

Re: A train station for DoDo (none / 0)

Aha. I've been there without seeing the outside. Audrey Tautou didn't get on my train either.

Re: A train station for DoDo (none / 1)

Heh... actually, that one, the outside view on the very first take, is a different station than the one with the train views (the one I meant to pose as riddle).

This is Limoges, the train view is Nice.

As for the arrival station (both inside & outside), it is in Istambul -- but it's the Asian side main station, Haydarpasha; and the train with the French loco was edited onto the shore behind it.
