No: that's not at all what I was thinking.

Some good and correct answers there which I have cut in to the original quiz.  The quiz is a European one - 10 pictures in 10 different countries which is why I expect some to be very difficult in addition to the dark.

I think 3. maybe Swansea, but not certain.

Sometimes, perhaps, the obvious answer is the right one - 8. Milan Centrale.

4. Świętokrzyska metro station, Warszawa.

5. looks a bit difficult, doesn't it?

I thought when  I saw that Irish one that we've seen that before, in a trip report or a quiz or both. And I think the same place did come up in May's quiz, though seen the next morning (but still with all the lights on) from further back.

In which case it's Athlone - but the only earlier photo I can find was not the same one, it was taken the same night but from the far end backtheway.

Yes it is Athlone - stayed there several days so not sure if it was the same night ...

It's a station I have mentioned a couple of times ...

Yes, it is ... as far NW as you can get if you exclude the terminus at Ferrol which it is clearly not!

I thought getting the right line was the hard bit, and after that it's just a matter of looking up the relevant trip report. OK, you need to know where to find that - and the same picture was posted there two years ago, identified as San Xoán.
