Title: Where In The World...? Post by: Bob_Blakey on October 03, 2011, 21:31:36 Oh no, not another picture quiz!
Just 4 pictures from a recent holiday trip (on which all longer distance travel was by train): http://www.flickr.com/photos/68262257@N06/6208868562/in/set-72157627686873799/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/68262257@N06/6208868562/in/set-72157627686873799/) Title: Re: Where In The World...?

The one with the sleeper train in particular looks vaguely familiar, although I've only been there once and it was at some god-awful hour in the morning!
Title: Re: Where In The World...? Post by: Bob_Blakey on October 04, 2011, 06:31:40 No, but very much in the right area.
Title: Re: Where In The World...? Post by: inspector_blakey on October 05, 2011, 03:54:10 They're definitely in Italy - the FS logos and the look of the train equipment give that away. But how close are we talking? I could just reel off a list of the stations in Italy where I've joined/alighted from/changed trains but that wouldn't be very sporting!! ;)
By the way, from the fourth pic looks like they have started replacing the Solari boards which were almost universal at Italian stations, which is a bit sad. Title: Re: Where In The World...?

Is PC World and acceptable answer ;D :o ::) :P Title: Re: Where In The World...? Post by: eightf48544 on October 06, 2011, 11:01:59 The Wagon lit could they be Venice Main Station on the Grand Canal over the causeway from Mestre?
Title: Re: Where In The World...? Post by: Bob_Blakey on October 06, 2011, 15:03:57 Picture B: Yes indeed, Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia - I thought that the presence of the VSOE stock was a bit of a clue.
