Ah - I didn't spot that - I'd misread it as 'Jaipur City'! Which was my next destination after I'd visited Udaipur.

Sivas YHT?
Close, but no.
Hmm... Sivas classic station?
That's the one!
Sivas YHT is not yet open, and probably won't be for many years until they build the high-speed line somewhere else (I think).
Ah yes, the planned station on the line towards Erzincan. Arguably part of the classic station is the current "Sivas YHT" as the renovated side of that station has signs with the name "Sivas YHT Gar".
Having spent ~30hrs on the tortuous old route between Diyarbakir and Istanbul ~15 years ago, I'm looking forward to the chance to take the new line. Albeit it would feel a bit weird to get all the way to Sivas in 7ish hours?!
OK - moving to a different part of the world, here's a station I visited two weeks ago. Any guesses?

Can we see a better picture of the station please
All I can really see is a level crossing

The sign is in Dutch....but, judging by the design of the catenary, I would say that it was in Belgium.

But the sign looks like a standard NL one, judging by the locations I found in an image search for “let op trein”. Unless both countries use the same signage style?
Edit: it appears Belgian level crossing signs are different. Maybe a border location?
I cropped the previous photo as I got hits from Google Images from any wider angle. I've attached a Street View photo showing the station from the opposite end.Can we see a better picture of the station please
The station is not in not in Belgium or anywhere near the Belgian border.

Hmm, a level crossing in the Netherlands - that should narrow it down a little!
Here are some clues:
- The level crossing in the first photo is a pedestrian crossing across only one of the tracks
- The original station building is now a cafe/restaurant
- The station is one stop from the terminus of the line
- The trains on this line are generally busier on the weekend, with additional specials being operated on some occasions

Correct!
There were frequent trains going past while I sat in that restaurant. The half hourly Amsterdam Centraal - Zandvoort aan Zee services were supplemented by specials from one stop away in Haarlem. A nice spot.
Your turn.

Not sure. In fairness, it provided a much needed shadow at times.
Yep, you're right. Thought that would be an easy one!
It was slightly easier when I thought about the location of your previous photo. Having said that, the first thought I had was had Kapikule been refurbished since I was last there!
OK, possibly another easy one...
