I now have the theme music to the remake of Lost In Space in my head.

It looks to me like a Deutsche Bahn ICE coming into Cologne.

I am pretty sure it is a German ICE 3 approaching Koln Hbf (or Cologne Central to Anglophones).

One of the best things about those trains is that there are 1st class seats just behind the driver from which the view is not terribly different.

Thanks for the tip, but I'll stick to the cheaper, slower Regional Express trains. Whose few first class seats offer an unrivalled view of crap suburban graffiti.

OK, time for a quiz. Which German city has two distinct Hauptbahnhofs?

Berlin?

Villain- no, the old East Berlin Hauptbahnhof has been renamed Ostbahnhof since the Lehrter Bahnhof (beside the Bundestag) got the top billing.

Nice workspace moonshadow, but wait until you see the perks (20hr workweek, vacation and retirement package...)
