Nathan,

like them very much.

Number one reminded me of a similar thing at Blackfriar's station in 
London.

If you are ever there go to the back of the main train hall. There is a 
wall put up in the 1870s (I think) by the "London CHatham and Dover 
Railway" of the destinations that you could reach from there including: 
Paris, Warsaw, Berlin, Biarritz and St. Petersburg.

This is one side of it:

These days it's a small commuter line from Kent and parts of Sussex

Peter

PS I have no idea why I don't have a picture of the other side.
