It is all in the eye of beholders. What is one person's beauty is another person's plain or ugly.

I thought it was nice, but not worth a special trip to see. It doesn't compare to the real Grand Central.

Maybe there weren't many other new stations this year.

Glad for the award and any spotlight on train infrastructure.

But I don't really see the appeal beyond a decent, clean train station. Not really special at all when looking internationally.

There are some nice art pieces there, but it is a fairly stark almost industrial station to me. I thought UNESCO was all about world heritage, which I am not sure how a newly built station has all that much impact on. Still, it is nice to see a train station get an award.
