Humorist in post 103744 said:8. Which European station has main line platforms on three different levels.?I take Main Line to part of the national rail network so trams/metros are excluded. S-Bahn are included unless they are a physically isolated network (no shared tracks) eg Hamburg/Berlin. I would exclude the SZU at Zurich, but include the S-Bahn. Zurich has three sets of platforms at a "-1" level , but I don't know if they are all the same level or not. Madrid Atocha has two levels, one for long distance trains and a lower level for the suburban Cercanias lines. Madrid Chamatin is all on one level. Petr. Peter.

Although this doesn't count as an answer, Helsinki's central station was built with platforms on three levels. All of the mainline platforms (19 of them!) are at ground level, then the Metro uses an underground island platform which is accessible without leaving the concourse building. Finally, there is a third underground island platform, below the Metro one, which was excavated "just in case" a second Metro line was ever required. To date it has never been used, and has no tracks. Notably, not only is Helsinki's Metro the same track gauge as the mainline network, but there is a physical connection between them. It's very rarely used (only for delivering new rolling stock, I think) but it is intact as far as I can tell. Log in to reply |

The normal timetable is for one (down) train on Saturday afternoons, but several additional trains stop when Birmingham City have a home game at St Andrews.
