Thinking broader (gauge) and noting that the yellow paint on the platform says "Mind the Gap" should we be looking in the Dublin Area?

Passenger trains are run ... to take passenger from "A" to "B" (ignoring exceptions line the 09:22 on Fridays from Stockport). And it's stuck me over the last few months just how successfully busy they've become. For sure, there are more passengers on th ebusy trains (so those trains are seen more) but we're a long way from trains spending their whole day carrying just a handful of peopple - at least where I live in Wiltshire. I've been agreeably surprised by the relative busyness during the day, and Saturday and Sunday loadings too - and they're vital in making the system finacially viable; it's no use having a train heaving from 07:48 to 07:48, and from 17:53 to 18:03, if it's carrying no-one the rest of the time. So this quiz was a celebration of people using stations and trains and not just a celebration of trains. Even the quieter pictures - Salisbury and Taunton - were linked to busy trains - just that most of the people were through passengers. There was one - just one train on the trips on which I was the only passenger at one point, but even that may represent a latent opportunity rather that a lost cause. ForI have seen our TransWilts "1 passenger train" blossom to 20. There was another picture that I left out of my series as I felt it was going to be a station that few or our members have used, being considerably out of area. But it does show the busyness as an world phenomenum. Can anyone identify it?  |

Brussels Midi? Nope ... bear in mind I left it out of the original quiz because I felt it was even harder than Tara Street! |
