The video summary explains the video below, “Awesome Irish Dancing including members of Riverdance and school children in spectacular Central Station Sydney. Over 100 dancers spread St Patricks Day cheer in Sydney.”

While this was clearly staged, it’s still pretty neat and a nice short break for train travelers. For me, the train station itself is beautiful and so clean!

For me, it’s always been Grand Central Terminal in NYC because it was my first love. But the new station in Berlin is beautiful along with some of the stations I’ve been to in Munich and London. Of course there are so many other stations around the world that might be better but that I haven’t been to as of yet.
