At least the millons spent got something.
Would be nice if it was actually used
It’s pretty and empty
Looks nice, but can they now focus on just modernizing the other stations instead of making an expensive architecture challenge of every big one?
Gevolg van wafelijzerpolitiek. Belachelijk duur station
While this is beautiful. I still think Antwerp Central is prettier but a little less well maintained.
I grew up there but I am not trying to be biased… I really think it is one of the most beautiful stations around.
In the meantime, Ghent is still ongoing and has gotten downgraded along the way.
Yeah it’s pretty….. Pretty empty…..
Serving how many trains and travelers?
Apparently the architect is quite known in Spain to make project that endless and get super expensive along the way
And costed a fuck ton of millions €
Een schande
I just wish they’d add MORE train stations in remote areas instead of building shit like this. It looks nice tho.
Must go there with my kid before all the white starts to fade.
We’re still waiting for Dirupo’s conviction for this..
It’s completely pointless, oversized for the number of travelers and basically just a monument to wasting money. I really don’t care if anyone thinks it’s architecturally beautiful, that doesn’t justify this abomination.
Los van hoeveel het station gekost heeft. Wat is die vreselijke muziek op dat filmpje.
Expensive boondoggle, symbolic of corruption surrounding construction of public infrastructure. The total cost of this station is completely disproportionate to the number of commuters served: a mere 9000 commuters per day.
Looks amazing
Stupid vanity project of Elio. So much wasted money.
Spending half a billion is one thing, but what are the maintenance costs for keeping it clean and functional for multiple decennia? In 10 years, multiple glass panels will be broken, dirty pillars, broken escalators and lights…
Dit blijft gek! Zo’n duur station voor een stad van nog een 100.000 inwoners Hoeveel zou Elio Di Rupo in zijn zak gestoken hebben?
Pretty sure it was not about being the “7th most beautiful in the world”… more like in the top 7 most beautiful stations built that year.
And 7th most deserted place in the world
And most useless
