Looks like Flam in Norway, which is the terminus of the Flam branch railway down from the main line in the hills. Tip: if you sail in to Flam you should get up early and get to the station in time for the first train of the day and buy an ordinary ticket, which is cheaper than booking a group excursion from the ship.

Close, but no cigar. The tip is a good one in many places - use the local services slightly away from the tourism peaks. Just the same for the "Glacier Express" with a chance to break journey at places like Disentis and Andermatt along the way ... and come 2028 will we be able to do a day out to Minehead arriving on the early service train and leaving at the end of a wonderful day ... sorry - dreaming on that one.

The connection is....................... these are all places you have visited 8) ;D That is a correct connection - but only a part of the answer. Please go further ...

I'm still no nearer working out the connecting link in this quiz, though. ::) Title: Re: AQ10 - Where are these and what is the connection / Theme? Post by: ChrisB on December 10, 2024, 19:54:00 All visited using a rail pass/rover ticket

Post by: grahame on December 11, 2024, 09:17:52 I'm going to give you the connection / theme - I have used a picture I have taken each month of 2024 to make up this quiz, in order. So no. 1 as taken in January and so on up to no.12 being earlier this month (December). Perhaps that was more personal and obscure than appropriate. And - beware - I may be able to do a similar series in December 2025.
Title: Re: AQ10 - Where are these and what is the connection / Theme? Post by: froome on December 11, 2024, 10:15:29 No 2 was obviously taken while you did your Interrail trip in Europe. My guess would be that is somewhere in either the Czech Republic or Slovakia, but no idea where in those.
