Is it some Bijlmer station? It sure looks like it is in the Randstad but I don't know where as I haven't seen that much stations.

Is it somewhere in Den Hague? Maybe a station on the Zoetermeer Stadslijn although that doesn't have termini IIRC.

-> The person to answer correctly posts the next picture.
-> The url to the image must not be clues or hints. If in doubt rename it and upload it using imageshack.
-> The station must be within the Netherlands



p.s.: I hate giving points.

I don't like where this is going. British and Dutch station games. This is starting to look like a competition between two topics (remember the "Favorite Rock Songs" and "Favorite NON-Rock Songs" competition).

Could we either have one station game with any station in the world (the country having to be specified) so we don't have another competition?

I'm with you on this train-a-mania. The station probably is Rotterdam Hofplein though.

The problem is, that if you have a thread for two (or more) countries, the game will always stay in the same country, since no Bitish guy will ever recognise a Dutch station and vice versa.

Hmmm...True. However, I think that we should only have games that everyone can play (not just people in preticular countries).

I don't agree. I don't really like the Fortunately Unfortunately game, so I just don't play it.

Agreed. Everyone should be able to play any game if he wants to.

Arathorn, your reply is no argument for or against train-a-mania's opinion. It's something independant. And I agree with you, btw.

What I meant is, whether you can't or don't want to play it doesn't really matter for the result, that is, you don't play it. But I would like to play it, and I'm not complaining about the people who play Fortunately Unfortunately either.

All this is off-topic, Illegal_alien started a game, if you dont like it, dont post, and if you wanna play, then play. But pointless discussion over whether the topic is allowed or not is silly.. IMO at least

The difference is that most people can't play even if they want to.

I don't know who started the Brittish topic, but he should have known that when you start a Brittish topic, all other countries want to have their own topics too.
