SNCF Gare du Havre, 1932, Le Havre, Normandy, France
Built in 1932 and designed by Henri Pacon, Le Havre's railway station is one of few buildings to survive the intense bombing of the city in World War II. This art deco station building replaced the original, of which all that remains is the roof over the platforms. The station hall, with its impressive roof and windows, and beautiful clock, still have the power to transport the onlooker back in time to days of greater attention to aesthetics and detail. It's a real treat just to walk around and sit in this station, what to speak of catch a train from here!

Cardiff, Wales: Cardiff Railway Station, 1927
Although the exterior of Cardiff Station exhibits some Art Deco features, it is the beautiful ticket hall that really shines. While many of Cardiff's buildings from that era have vanished, thanks to liberal use of the wrecking ball, the Station is still in great shape and likely to be around for a while yet.
On a couple of the platforms can be found tile-clad waiting rooms in the color scheme of the old Great Western Railway - green, cream, and brown:
Cardiff Station is a real piece of class in an otherwise rather ugly part of the city.
