to 31st Mar 2008 | Czech Railways - Praha Liben
This is my 'local' station. Very close to this station is a goods sorting yard hence the high number of freight trains passing through. It is also the main route to Prague's two main stations as well as others.

This station is almost in the center of the city. It serves local trains and closer city stopping services like Pardubice.

I wasn't quite raised on the Ffestiniog Railway, but it was an important and quite significant in my early life. Hence why the railway has a an important place in my life. The ultimate will be when the line to Caernarfon is completed.

Slovak Railways are, on the whole, very similar to Czech Railways. There are a few notable exceptions, the mountain railways and links to Austria (using Austrian stock) and Ukraine (broad gauge).
