End of the Line

The more things change the more they stay the same...
Or as the French say, "Ze more sings shanege, ze more zey stay ze same...".
My French is a little rusty these days, as is my Japanese, as are my knees, but that's another story.
Well, what do you think about this for a station? I teach a couple of classes here on Wednesday afternoons. And I thought it was only bloody Select that had out-of-the-way class locations!
If you can name this station I'll give you 10,000 yen, an enormous box of luxury heart stopping chocolates, a years subcription to Train Rider Monthly and half my kingdom...

The thing about change is that you never really know what is going to happen once things start happening, and perhaps that's why people often try to avoid change in the first place.
Like those puzzles where you have a diagram of some cogs in a row and you are asked to say which direction cog "E" will turn when cog "A" is turned. Except that in real life there are more cogs and they can turn in more than two directions.
But that's what makes it interesting and life enhancing...
