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.

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.)

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

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.
