It didn't say one passes through the terminals on the train though did
it? Everyone who uses a terminal station passes through it one way or
another.


it 'said' very clearly

What?! You're quoting a line from my post as opposed to one from the
story. The relevant paragraph is above, but I'll happily quote it
again in full:

I take "travelling by train" to include the whole railway journey
*including* the bit at the station. Perhaps you see things
differently, and to you it strictly means 'travel on a moving railway
train'. If so that's fair enough.

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.

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)

Central Terminal to the list as it has a turn around loop under the
main concourse!!

You're not being annoying, you're merely just failing to put forward
any sort of argument whatsoever - in fact I put forward your argument
on your behalf in my last post!
