Only one I've been to is Dunedin - I live in NZ! It is pretty special. Would love to see others

For a small town in New Zealand Dunedin takes the biscuit.

Great pics of international railway stations.

I have seen the station in Helsinki. It's better than the photo. Quite a size too. I have been in most of the London stations including St Pancras. Bristol Temple Meads is worth a visit.

The stations in India and Malaysia alook great, the railroads themselves iffy.

I've had the pleasure of having been to 3 of them #6, 7 and 8. Would love to see the others before it is too late.
