Arrival Moments: The First Frame
When a train slows into a station, there’s a subtle shift: the air, the light, the sounds. Some stations greet you with polished surfaces, digital boards, modern shelters and staff. Others with old brick, wooden beams, vintage benches, shadows from trees. That first step off the train defines how you enter that place. The design, the scent, the nearby streets—all combine to shape your first impression.
