*International* Guess The Station

[ABB125]

Myrdal?

Nope - wrong country

 

[JonasB]

Since no one else has replied, I can add that it is a very popular destination in the winter.

 

[Class172]

I feel like it must be north of Stockholm, but beyond that I'm not sure. Åre perhaps?

I think you are correct with

Åre

I just googled the taxi company...

That is correct. A very nice station.

(Top tip: if you need a shower whilst out travelling, for a bargain 5SEK (about 35p!) you can use the facilities at the station)

 

[Class172]

Excellent, I really need to explore Scandinavia in general at some point.

Here’s my next one:

That's not a bad idea! There is much to see here.

Here’s my next one:

Somewhere in North America?

Back Bay in Boston?

Back Bay in Boston?

Alas no…

That's not a bad idea! There is much to see here.

Somewhere in North America?

…because this is not the case.

 

[yoyothehobo]

Somewhere in Frankfurt?

 

[Class172]

Nope. Although the great circle distance to the city has decreased, the distance is still four figures long in miles.

Seoul

 

[Class172]

I like the thinking with it clearly being in a big city, but now we’ve overshot in the opposite direction. We are in Europe and I don’t believe this country has featured yet on this quiz (although don’t hold me to that).

The branding/colour scheme is visible in the station is that of the national operator, if that offers any clue.

 

[JonasB]

It didn't look very European to me. But if we are in Europe and it is a big city, maybe Moscow?

 

[Class172]

Да, indeed we are in Moscow; in this case on the central circle line. Some of the tallest skyscrapers in Europe can be seen in the background of the image.

With that in mind, can we pin down the station?

 

[Iskra]

Studencheskaya?

 

[Iskra]

Actually, I'm fairly confident it is in fact Testovskaia

Bang on. I was changing between what was the then 11A and the Central Circle, on what turned out to be a rather fateful day late in February 2022…

Did you follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park?...

In the meantime, here's a poser...

Santander

 

[WessexEclectic]

No exactamente...

 

[Peterthegreat]

Matoporquera?

 

[WessexEclectic]

Getting colder...

 

[russellb]

Ferrol?

 

[WessexEclectic]

Ferrol?

Yes, it is! Your turn…

 

[russellb]

Yes, it is! Your turn…

Thanks! Try this:

Could someone explain the joke?
