I LOVE train stations, when I am out travelling I always try and stop by the train station too. Train stations are hope for me, hope about something different, about change.
And then I get the link below, and to my excitement I have been to several of the top 10 rail stations!

The one in Kuala Lumpur is absolutely beautiful, but not very practical, in fact very little in that city is, the motorways are criss crossing and blocking off blocks, so you may well walk down one road only to discover that no, you can't get through there but have to go all the way back and around instead, from that point of view Bangkok was considerably better (but Bangkok train station didn't make it to the top list though. Nor do their trains...)
Atocha in Madrid, Spain is another station I really enjoyed.
But Australia I have yet to discover,
Antwerpen, Belgium is there, just like St Pancras i London - both two stations that I really like.
But what I miss on the list, what I really miss on the list is my top train station: Grand Central Station in New York City. Although I must admit that one of the reasons I really love that place is the fantastic oysters, I always tend to stop by Grand Central Station and the Oyster Bar there, for a little lunch feast when I am in the city, and that is what makes Grand Central station so special...
