    Nice pictures.

    I’ve visited the following (most in Britain)

    Ryde Pierhead, Ryde Esplanade, Sandown, Shanklin (and travelled through the others).
    I used to commute from Bourne End to Reading so Maidenhead to Reading was a regular daily trip. The whole GWE route is familiar to me and I last travelled it in 2018, including getting off at Slough en route to Windsor.
    Liverpool, Runcorn.
    Glasgow Central
    London Victoria, Clapham Junction, East Croydon, Gatwick Airport Brighton (I have travelled the route many times).
    Most Stations between St Austell and Penzance.
    Cologne (although I didn’t travel to or from there)
    Bakerloo Line. been to many of the stations on this route.
    Stratford International to St Pancras (also the route as far as Ebbsfleet on Eurostar)
    Leeds, Manchester Vic (but not the line in between)
    Oh, and I’ve just remembered. I went to Brighton London Road station once when I took a wrong turn and got lost!

    I haven’t travelled further afield because I don’t fly.

    Manchester Victoria, Leeds (travelled the route several times)
    Liverpool Lime St, Crewe
    Ryde
    I know I've been to at least a few of the Bakerloo Line stations, but I'm not sure if I've ever used the line itself
    I've stood outside Stratford International but never actually used the station

    GWE Stations:
    London Paddington (feels like I practically live there at this point)
    Ealing Broadway
    West Ealing
    Slough
    Reading
    I've also been to Royal Oak immediately out of Paddington if that counts.

    Bakerloo Stations
    I'm pretty sure I've visited every station between Elephant and Paddington at least once, then it's:
    Queen's Park
    Stonebridge Park
    Harrow and Wealdstone

    London Commuter Stations
    London Victoria
    Battersea Park
    Clapham Junction
    Balham
    Selhurst
    East Croydon
    Purley
    Brighton

    SEHS Stations
    St Pancras International
    Ebbsfleet International (although I haven't been on the platforms TSW2 uses)
    Gravesend
    Gillingham
    Sittingbourne
    Faversham

    West Somerset Railway
    When I was a kid we used to go to Butlins Minehead every summer, so while I know for a fact I've regularly visited Minehead and Bishops Lydeard I'm a bit hazy on the rest. I seem to have memories of visiting Watchet and Stogumber, but the rest I'm unsure of.

    I've also been to the modern day versions of Leeds and Manchester Victoria from NTP, Darlington and Middlesbrough from Tees Valley, Crewe and Liverpool Lime Street from SOS,

    I've been to Ryde Pier Head, Ryde Esplanade, Smallbrook Junction and Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, and I've been to Glasgow Central from Cathcart Circle.

    I've been on the East Coastway line but apart from Brighton I haven't been on any of the stations. When I did the line I went straight through from Brighton to Hastings without setting foot anywhere in between.

    I think that's all of the ones I've been to, if I remember any more I'll edit the post. I've got pictures for about 85% of these but this post is already too long.

    EDIT: I've been to Liverpool South Parkway, which is built on the site of Allerton Station, so you can count that maybe.

    Thanks for telling me and for Ruggles the Northbound Boston South Station platform has a direct connection to the bus stop. Regarding the Game version of Ruggles and my picture. Where the map and Poster collectibles are it's the MBTA commuter rail map on my picture. Furthermore, Liverpool South Parkway should be the Modernized WCML Liverpool Crewe Allerton Parkway

    I use or travel through 22 every day on my commute using GWE and the Bakerloo

    For me it is not easy, as I live in South America.
    But despite of that, I spent 2 hours making spotting at Munich Hbf.


    I have been on other European, USA and Japan very important stations, like Amsterdam Centraal, Roterdam main one, Brussels Midi, Paris Montparnasse / Gare du Nord, New York City Grand Central, Los Angeles Union Station, San Diego Station. and Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya JR main Stations.
    But they are not - yet - on TSW2.
