I saw this article on the BBC website. This is Berlins newly completed railway station. It's a beaut.



"Featuring vast glass panels it is Europe's largest station and will handle more than 1,100 trains a day."



"As Germany prepares for the football World Cup, the wraps come off a new landmark - Berlin's central railway station."



"The station has 54 escalators and 34 lifts - some offering views over the city, looking out at the Bundestag."



"It is located next to the River Spree, a few metres west of the no-man's-land where the Berlin Wall once stood."



"A sound and light show will crown a weekend of celebrations to mark the opening."



"Deutsche Bahn chief executive Hartmut Mehdorn has described it as "the most beautiful station in the world"."

I wonder how much space that would take up in HO scale?

Would I be right in saying there's no connection between Berlin's new station and Birmingham New Street.
New Street has to be the worst designed, dirtest crap hole, and the worst run station in the world. I'm being complementary here !
