I’d recognise that anywhere. It’s taken on the train
But not an Irish train
Yep, seats are wrong, doors on right and the hand rail are wrong.
My guess, not in Ireland.
Doesn’t look like Ireland to me
Could be one of the old commuter trains. The new Irish trains don’t have those window openings on them anymore or a slanted bar near the doors.
That train is about to pull into the Windows XP desktop station

At a guess, I’d say it was taken somewhere just passed Leixlip train station on Dec. 17 on board the 3:40pm Connolly to Maynooth commuter train. Possibly.
It’s definitely either Ireland or Wales, or somewhere in England, or possibly France, Germany, Scotland or Belgium.
Or one of the other countries with fields in them.
As someone who is a reader and lives in Ireland, I can categorically say that is in fact Ireland.
The trees on the left next to the first “G” don’t look like any Irish trees I’ve ever seen.
Also the reflected train doors don’t look like any Irish Rail train doors I’ve ever seen
Looks French. Row of uniform trees on the left might be Swiss pine which are very common over there.
OP should just google it
Must be driving him nuts.
…nah…the line of poplar trees to the bottom left and the mature hedgerows scream England. The foliage on the trees and the grazing/electric fence marks on the meadow say July. I’d say going south on the 19.40 from Bristol Temple Meads to Taunton just north of Weston-Super-Mare.
No you’re wrong.
If you were just north of Weston-Super-Mare, the train train would be travelling in a south-westerly direction, therefore the sunset wouldn’t be in that position on the photo.
The sunset in this image is near the front of the train meaning that it’s travelling in a westerly direction (or if travelling right to left, in an easterly direction).
East Coast train going through Yorkshire. Same pull down windows, which everyone hurriedly pushes up going through noisy tunnels on the way to Leeds.
Biggest clue is the colour of the fields being green.
And the green trees.
And a bit of a glow from the evening sun.
It’s so obvs.
Perhaps he could Google it?
Halfway between Tralee & Farranfore.
I do apologise, I meant ‘Northern’ train – not east coast, east coast are the fancy ones which take northerners down to London.
Here’s your ‘Northern’ taking you from Harrogate to Leeds

it’s good that the only picture Google could come up with to promote Google Drive was taken on a train. Are they messing with our heads?
You’re messing with your own head pal.
Your Google-fu is weak. The photographer is English, based in the south of the country.

It’s a class 150

“Can you ask your readers” indeed… transparent marketing is very transparent (to me)
Hail Corporate!

as I suspected… does this mean all my conspiracy theories are true?
First clue that’s not Ireland is the clear sky in the background!
