Yes, on my travels I did think of all those conversations we'd had about European stations! Milan just seems to keep opening up as you go deeper through it! I like the overall presence & undercroft of Rotterdam. Also special mention for Strasbourg (or do I mean Kings Cross... π)

Not sure which to pick as my favourite.... maybe @thebeautyoftransport.com or @mrtimdunn.bsky.social can help decide? Over the last week I've seen that Europe certainly knows how to 'do stations' that really announce their presence! @interraileu.bsky.social
