Trainstations and Tubes

[Lisa B]

Does anyone have any fun or not-so-boring pictures of Train Stations or Tube stations?!

I have a couple but I generally find them to be boring places unless interesting people are waiting around at them.

I'd be interested to see your take on them.

Thanks

Brighton Station, from a train...

What a fast train for a slow clown . Welcome to TPF! Good one. I'll go through my pics to try and contribute to the new theme, sounds an interesting one! Thanks, Lisa.

I'd contribute if this backward run island had an underground.

And there aren't even any train stations in Ireland??? I much, much, much doubt THAT!

I've posted this one before, but without a caption: it is Exchange Place PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) station during the post 9-11 cleanup and rebuild.

Seems like I can also contribute to this theme.

2. Some (already known to some) photos of the train station of the other neighbouring town (in the direction to Hamburg)

Oh Ok we do have train stations and some quite charming ones too just not an underground metro. There is a plan to build the beggining of a Metro in the next 7 years but knowing our engineers the train won't fit into it and it'll be another rich man's luxury. Of course they are doing something, yes we've gone backwards 80 years and are rebuilding the tram system which was demolished when people had sense. So not only are the roads completely over filled but now we're adding a tram system.

However Lafoto as a German you might appreciate my distress with the design for the new Irish motorway intersections. Yes we are moving on from the Round-Abouts with traffic lights (Yes really, on a motorway) to well these things because our uber intelligent street architects and motorway designers are so clever we can do much better than ze Germans.

Enough - This site is my escape from that world.

I better post a photo for ranting off topic. Going back to the days when all I needed was my fujipix to get any shot I wanted. Cefalu - Sicily...

I really like the Brighton pic from the first post, and Lafoto's first one has amazing colors.

I once made pictures of the station Antwerp-Central but I don't know where they are now...I only have this one.
For a contest of STUK I had to put their logo on an original place and make a picture, then a train came by so I made a photo of it.
Station: Wespelaar-Tildonk, Belgium
