the train on the right looks like an IC3 or derivative. Which doesn't even narrow down the country
This is the image being used to top the BBC Cricket World Cup text alert page. The background looks fairly overseas to me. Any ideas
The train is a Belgian AM96 emu - the yellow door in the nose is the giveaway - I'm fairly sure it is the train shed at Antwerp Centraal station.

Yes, agreed - the old Antwerp before the cross-city tunnel was built I'd say as well, you don't get such a unclustered view now unless they found a very cheeky angle that does still look real!
I think it's all in the angle - this overhead shot shows the set-up now

The ironwork looks right - and worth a visit. Thanks, chaps.
Agreed. The EMU on the left is in old SNCB colours (red with a white stripe). So not a recent picture.
As a note, when the BBC does an online article on Brighton, they always use a picture of the Palace Pier, with the sign saying 'Palace Pier'. The sign now says 'Brighton Pier' (long story) and has done for over 14 years.

The EMU on the left in the picture is an AM86, most of which are still in the old red livery. But that's definitely Antwerpen-Centraal, and yes it is well worth a visit!
