Perhaps you see things differently, and to you it strictly means 'travel on a moving railway train'. If so that's fair enough. |

Antwerp Central 4th most beautiful station station in the world, according to the American magazine Newsweek. Uh-oh... I can hear the thunderous stampede of uk.railway denizens (one in particular) heading this way chanting "beauty, beauty, what about being user friendly" with regards to St. Pancras! I only needed to read ''American magazine'' to decide there is little point in further discussing the relative beauteous merits of stations. -- Nick |

"Lord Truscott of Brownenvelope" a écrit dans le message de ... http://www.deredactie.be/cm/de.redac...AntwerpCentral Antwerp Central 4th most beautiful station Fri 06/02/09 12:33 - Antwerp Central is the 4th most beautiful train station in the world, according to the American magazine Newsweek. St. Pancras in London (UK) is the most beautiful, followed by Grand Central Station in New York City (USA), and Chhatrapati Shivaji station in Mumbai (India). The American weekly made a ranking of what it considers to be the most beautiful train stations in the world. (Belga) Antwerp Central is fourth on the list. The article is entitled 'Stations: A Destination That Matches the Journey'. "Among the many fine sights to be seen while travelling by train, few are as pleasantly surprising as the terminals one passes through," writes Newsweek. Antwerp Central has been modernised over recent years, enlarged and adapted for the high speed train line. The building, with its magnificent dome dates to the 19th century. It is on the classified monument list. The architect of the train station, Louis de la Censerie, was inspired by the impressive Pantheon in Rome, Italy. At the top of the list is St Pancras in London, recently refurbished and featuring the longest champagne bar in Europe and a new farmers' market set to open this year. The Top Nine 1) St.Pancras, London (UK) 2) Grand Central Terminal, New York (USA) 3) Chhatrapati Shivaji, Mumbai (India) 4) Central Station, Antwerp (Belgium) 5) Gare des Bénédictins, Limoges (France) 6) Lahore Railway Station (Pakistan) 7) Central Railway Station, Maputo (Mozambique) 8) Hua Hin Railway Station (Thailand) 9) Atocha Station, Madrid (Spain) |
