      Haarlem Station in the Netherlands is also rather nice; the only Jugendstil station in NL. It's just a shame it's used by a tulipe company like the Dutch railways.

      Our village has a rather nice station building; happily while the station still operates the old station building has been kept out of the hands of tulipe And Useless Rail Company, but is leased by a young couple who run a decent pub in it.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        That is one of the things I liked about living in Marylebone. It's got it's fair share of upmarket boutiques but the De Walden estate were quite enlightened when it comes to attracting and more importantly keeping the smaller more specialist businesses that have been there for years. The little electrical / hardware shop that sells light bulbs, hoover bags and so on.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Manchester Victoria, before they've attempted to improve it. It just screamed "This is the north, this is Manchester, this is grim." as you approached it.
