European "Guess the Location"

European "Guess the Location"

I'd thought that i would make a thread where you can guess European Locations including Railway Stations, Bus Stations, Towns, Cities and any Landmark in Europe with a list of Rules below. I've included more things than just railway stations to make it different to the UK Version

Can Include

- Any Railway Station thats open (even preserved railways) (even the underground stations of the National Networks) (e.g. UK - National Rail)
- The above must have at least one train a day stopping at that station (including request stops)
- Underground, DLR, Metro, or Similar but only the above ground stations
- Underground stations that are underground but are connected to "mainline stations" that are above ground are allowed
- Any bus stations (no bus stops ;))
- Can include any Landmark in europe (e.g. the London Eye)
- Can include any picture from a Town or City Centre but it must include something unique
- Picture must have been taken in Europe (See country list below)


Can not Include

- A picture of your house (unless of course its a famous landmark, which is doubtful)
- Pictures from any random Village or hamlet (except Railway and Bus Stations)
- Pictures of a random field
- Pictures from Underground, Metro, DLR or Similar Stations that are Underground (above ground stations are fine)
- Glasgow Subway pictures

Countries Pictures can be from

Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia & Hezegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Republic Of Macedonia, Romania, Russia (only European part), San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales)

Here is the First Picture. (an easy one to start with)

What i would like to know -

Railway Station Name -
City -
Country -

So I can put in the bus stop from the village that I live in? How very nice, no one would be able to guess it (with the exception of the people who know where I live) and the game would instantly die :P

That is true, bus stations are a bit dodgy as not even wikipedia has pages for bus stations as they do railway ones.

What does this has to do with "General Transport Discussion"? This subsection is already cluttered enough. Move, please.
