I've seen an ad on TV for Specsavers in which a guy gets off a suburban train at the terminus and the girl waiting for him kisses another guy.
Does anyone have any idea where this is filmed? It doesn't look like the UK, more like somewhere in Europe but I can't see any clues.
The train is a multiple unit, probably EMU, probably low-floor, and is painted off-white with a grey skirt.
Any ideas?

I can't give you an ID, but the ad can be seen at: The vehicle is a single-articulated design that looks quite tram like in profile. There appears to be just one double-leaf single sliding plug door per section about 1/3rd of the way from the vehicle ends. There is just the one unit in the train. The ends of the vehicle sides might be yellow. There is a step down from the train to the platform. There is no evidence of OHLE and I don't think there is third rail, suggesting a DMU. The leading section carries the number "LB 127" or "I.B 127" or possibly "1.B 127" at the mid-position on the body side. This is a terminus station that has a broad island platform and another track, possibly disused, on the other side of the train. There are no yellow lines or anything like that on the platform. There is a flower stall on the platform. There are portrait signs on the platform at least one of which looks to have a bold, probably circular, possibly red or maroon, block of colour horizontally centred in the top 1/4 of the sign. I think there is just a single line leading to the station, but the formation is wide enough for possibly even four tracks. There is a colour-light signal protecting the approach track. The station building is red brick, with a dark slate steeply-pitched roof.

Wow, that picture of the train is very imaginative. Reminds me of the Emperor's new clothes for some reason

Many years ago (well about 1963) when in the Scouts we camped quite close to Helsingor (Elsinore as Shakespeare would have it), and that railway/tramway ran through a wooded area past the field we were camped in.
The drivers were quite happy to make unofficial stops of the trams to pick us up to take us into the town, and return us to the campsite.
Four years ago I was sent out to work at Helsingor for a few days and decided to find the site only to find it had been developed into a golf course, although the trams still run past it.

Thanks for all the comments. I thought it looked "northern european". I was in Helsingor about ten years ago, took the train up from Kobenhavn and then the ferry across to Helsingborg. I may have seen one of these on my way to the ferry, hence the nagging feeling that I had seen them somewhere before.
