The station is truly magnificent, if shrouded by building work for a new Underground. There si a very interesting Tram museum line on an old suburban branch line at Harlem Meer Station, really impressive old trams. Next time I pan to do some steam, there a lot a train stuff there.

I just want to add pics about the most interesting train I saw: EN to Moscow, with carriages for many other destinations. Reading the table in the station is enough to make you dream! The train is composed by German and russian carriages. Some pics about russian ones, I never saw them: Pietro

Thus, somewhere where you cross that old mystical line from West to East, the carriages have to be refitted with new wheels.--MM

Go out there fine, bogie change was at Brest Livotsk, asget I had been seen looking out at some steam locos , a Border Guard had my film..They slit each coach ran into a shed and jacked up the coach and rolled SZD bogies.Not quick but as I recall infinitely preferable to Aeroflot as it was then. Getting back- impossible the platzcarte was not possible so I had to fly back to Berlin.
