Annecy? Though I can never remember if Annecy gets Léman Express services

 

[biko]

Open Floor

In that case... the text is a bit of a clue

 

[Mike395]

Ah, one I (think I) actually know for a change! Pietrarsa-San Giorgio a Cremano (next door to the railway museum, must get there one day...)

 

[eastwestdivide]

Spot on. That didn't last! It's worth a visit.
The text reads "On 3 October 1839, the journey started of the most revolutionary invention of the modern era, THE TRAIN"

This one's probably going to go quick - but which station was I staying next to and woke up to this view of on a moody January morning?

Leipzig hbf?

 

[Mike395]

Not Leipzig!

 

[Railsigns]

Mannheim Hbf?

 

[Mike395]

Mannheim Hbf?

You got it! The Hilton Garden Inn next to the station has some rooms with excellent railway views (and was very reasonably priced!)

Not Verona.

 

[biko]

Venezia Santa Lucia?

 

[Mag_seven]

Nope.

 

[eastwestdivide]

Well, I’ve discovered a lot of Italian stations have very similar canopies!

 

[WessexEclectic]

Thanks - next up:

Trieste?

 

[Mag_seven]

Trieste?

Not there either - this station is not in the north of Italy.

Lamazia Terme? Italo runs a long way south now

 

[Mag_seven]

Lamazia Terme? Italo runs a long way south now

Not there- we are way far too south now.

 

[superalbs]

Salerno?

Not there- we are way far too south now.

 

[WessexEclectic]

Not there- we are way far too south now.

Pisa Centrale ?

 

[Mag_seven]

Salerno?

Pisa Centrale ?

Neither of those but Salerno is the closest guess so far

 

[30907]

Neither of those but Salerno is the closest guess so far

Caserta and Benevento have the right number of platforms and Italo stop there - let's try Caserta.

Not Caserta.
