Which country? Which location in that country?

[whole diary]

[grahame]

A little bit of a difference ... and you identify the country ... and if so the place within it?  Seven different countries here; please limit yourselves to one place each for the first 24 hours.

The EMU^▸ (Electric Multiple Unit) in picture 7 looked 'Greater Anglia' to me, and the suitcases suggested either Harwich International or Stansted Airport. A quick Google (I've not been to either) revealed that only one of those two has curved platforms anything like that, so Harwich International, England, is my guess.

The guess is correct; the EMU was waiting to take the floods of passengers off the boat to Maningtree, while the few destined for Colchester, Chelmesford, London and beyond were being herded onto buses. It's disappointing to use a rail to ship connection to avoid a bus ride just to find you have a .... bus ride.

2. Country: Wales. County of Denbighshire.  Rhyl station.

1. Republic of Ireland, Dublin. A LUAS tram. Precisely where in Dublin I can't say.

[TonyK]

5. Germany (based on colour of double-deck train and logo on the nose of the other). Münster?

2. Country: Wales. County of Denbighshire.  Rhyl station.

Just looked at this one more closely and thought I might have snatched it as St Thomas's spire is fairly unmistakable to someone who grew up in the town, but as always someone beat me to it!!

Rhyl station is a shadow of its former self as I remember it from the 1980's!

All of the above correct.

Correct country; not the town / city of Munster though.    I believe Munster is also a name given to a big area and (with a D- in German Geography on my part), it might be in Munster on that measure.

The train looks Norwegian (but not the trees?).  so Norway is my guess although I am not confident.

Yes, that's Norway.   Not sure what a characteristic Norwegian tree looks like though ....

It's one that looks good when made into a bed.

The trees on the horizon look a bit Cyprus-sy to my eyes which doesn't fit very well with Norway's climate. 

Almost all the lines in Norway are electrified which narrows the photo down a bit.  It looks like a station near sea level rather than in the maintains so by a process of elimination, I go for Åndalsnes Station.
