The closest I have ever come to train spotting happened in this station (the Gare du Midi in Brussels). I took a couple of photos of the Eurostar, but at least it confirmed to me that train spotting was not going to be a hobby I could ever enjoy. It is quite a nice station I suppose, although I am not an authority on this. Whilst waiting for freinds to arrive I peered over the gantry and saw this solitary figure heading out into the throng of downtown Brussels.
