There’s something special about travelling by train that always makes me nostalgic — whether it’s hopping on for commuting within the city or slowing down and opting for an overnight railway ride in lieu of air travel. Across the globe train stations are known to be chaotic and packed with commuters, trying to get to different destinations. These busy buildings see millions of travellers pass through each year, but some terminals are worth lingering in – these stunning, architectural marvels are a visual delight and more often than not rich in history and culture.
