    The Car Station is wonderfully rustic blending nicely into its environment, I like the cyclist on the French station, he is not taking a chance and crossing the line.

    Yes, nowadays that crossing for the cyclist would have an ugly orange bar to stop him from crossing. The theatre and tramway station is a great idea.

    I like that humble French station. They are scattered around the country, and make very easy to travel France!
