At least some people still have a sense of humor.



Guess the location, bonus points for the station, but getting the city should help.

London. The ".uk" in the web address gives it away.

Berlin. The address is on the bottom of the ad. I also suspected London but the third rail is wrong for it.

I see .de not .uk. In any case Berlin from the strasse address.

London does have bottom contact third rail on the DLR, though that looks nothing like one of DLR's stations anyway.

Nope, I'm afraid that despite appearances, it is not Berlin. I'm not even sure there's a single station in all the BVG U or S-bahn system with stations that have a cylindrical profile.

Congrats! It is indeed Hamburg. Any guess as to which station within Hamburg?

And, do you mind my asking what lead you to that conclusion?

That proves one thing. Funeral Homes use funny billboards in multiple countries.

A quick Google of the company name/address suggests that:
-the station is possibly Messehallen or Hauptbahnhof Nord
-the pixelated ad is a 6 year old photo shop; why else would it be in English?

Messehallen has the same kind of tiles, so that must be it.
