Now then, I know you don't like me to make these too easy...

Where was Red Squirrel on Friday? On his way to catch a train, but not on this line...

Not in the UK (United Kingdom)? That cycle lane could be contraflow or on the right hand side of a one way street but equally, being on the right hand side of the road, could mean foreign climes. The road markings don't look UK-ish either...

Or in summary... no idea!

The cars seem to be on the wrong side of the road, so across the water.

It is a European city, but not Berlin. The gabled building in the distance, with a chimney on the right, is a long-closed railway station.

Well, if you put it like that ... Gare du pont de Flandre. Supposedly converted into a bistrot-cum-jazz venue, though I can't fathom how recent that was.
