One out of two - yes to Osnabruck.
Grahame, your 24 hour holdback is over - can you clear the board?

St Pancras - Amsterdam - Osnabroek - Hamburg - local train could be to Kiel, Rostock or Westerland, or indeed somewhere else on the Baltic or North Sea coast. I am noting your comment to beware of being mislead on the final destination. And "Baltic" - and mentioned - includes Wismar, Warnamunde, Rugen
I am pretty sure of Hamburg - if your big city had been further south in Germany, you would not have gone beyond Brussels on Eurostar, and had you been headed to Berlin you would not have changed at Osnabrouk - that train from Amsterdam also goes on to the (multilevel) Berlin Hbf.

I'm thinking that the split level station could be Osnabrück while the first station was possibly Rotterdam?

Erm ... you're not in Ukraine, are you?

Fun! I can work out most ... but will leave it for others for 24 hours. Enjoy.

I am currently on a rail journey of Graham Ellis proportions!
I have crossed (under) the Channel and my first continental change of trains was at an historic station that has recently undergone extensive works.
My next train was a cross-border jointly operated inter-city service that took me to an interesting split-level station from which I have taken the train upon which I am now travelling to one of the largest cities in my destination country.
There I will take a local service to arrive in the wee small hours at my final destination. This is not too far from something that has featured in a number of posts on a thread on this forum - but take care with that clue as it might mislead you.
Finally, I will be later at my destination due to the late running of the service I am on at present.
Can you work out my journey? I hope when I am back to do a longer post on it.
BTW, if you have been following Destination X on the telly, I am sorry I can't afford Rob Brydon to do a voice-over for this post....
