Very little clue on the station but feel I may have the country: Lillehammer?

Definitely Norway, and on the right line. Dombås stasjon.

The destination indicator is the clue - Googlemaps has enough photos of Dombås to confirm my guess: the train has terminated there, presumably from Åndalsnes.

Spot on @30907 - over to you. :)

I thought the destination indicator was sufficiently blurry not to hide it - perhaps I should have done!

I was lucky - I zoomed in on Dombås only to see where I should start looking - and spotted the tunnel mouth immediately.

Anyway, try this 2011 view of an international interchange station.FB_IMG_1726401095800.jpg

Is the correct answer, well done :) Possibly made more difficult because due to a severe day, I passed this station during daylight, whereas most would pass through during darkness.

The usual reason for a delay or something different, if you recall?

There was an epic lightning storm the previous evening on the train, and concurrently a tornado warning so we spent a lot of time running at 15mph as a precaution, which delayed us substantially. It was impressive viewing from the lounge car however.

Westbound then - Tornados over the Mid-West? You got your money's worth in the lounge car!

Anybody using the private car? TIA.

Absolutely, it was a great trip. There was an older US couple occupying the private car, I briefly spoke to them and they were friendly enough. Full details of my trip here
