Railway Station

At the Central railway station in Almere Stad (City). The station dates from 1987 and is designed by Peter Kilsdonk. It was built as main station for the new forensic city Almere along the Flevo railway line.

The design is rather spectacular but for a city built in an always  windy polder it is a cold place to wait for a train. At the right are many open spaces where the winds blows into your face.

Royal train

I had seen this train at the blog  Opvallend onopvallend of fellow blogger Marleen but hadn't seen it myself yet. The orange "Kings" train went through the Netherlands in honor to the inauguration of King Willem Alexander on. April 30 and to stimulate people to use a train ride.  Apparently it is still riding around as I saw it this week in Amsterdam!

It has a text at the side "Go with us from Beatrix to Alexander" which is not so up-to-date anymore.
