Who knows if you can make it from platform 2 to platform 4 in Wittenberge station in 3 minutes in time to catch a connection?
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to walk from platform 2 to platform 4 in Wittenberge station in a maximum of 3 minutes to catch a connection, as I don't know my way around there and I come from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and have to take a connecting train from platform 4 in Wittenberge to Zurich in Switzerland. Please help me with your answers. It is extremely important as I have my journey on February 27th, 2025 and I have to be in Zurich, Switzerland, by February 25th, 2025 at the latest, for a seminar at the company that I am supposed to lead.
If you go fast, get the first and the train is completely on time, yes.
With delay of the first train, when you are at the wrong end and then slow people block the stairs, you need 2 minutes when you get out because waiting behind others or something else stops, no chance.
At only 3 minutes it’s almost guaranteed that something is and you can’t do it. And yes, the connecting train is always on time.
I personally travel a lot and would never plan (!) with 3 minutes transfer time. It’s just not if it’s an important connection I have to get.
Therefore, I can only strongly advise you to take a train earlier to have more transfer time.
Thanks for your info unfortunately it is not different except for this time since I should arrive on time on 28.02.24 at 7.15 p.m. according to schedule in Zurich Switzerland and at 07.45 p.m. to run a seminar which is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. and since this is due to take place during the weekend from 28.02.25 until 03.03.25 in a total of 10 modules and there are more than 170 participants in this seminar
The second train is okay, and that’s too close to me. It can also be late, especially with such a long distance.
But at the first one that drives to Wittenberge, you should take one earlier and take the children away sooner or ask friends to do that for you.
Otherwise, you can stop to miss the train and not arrive on time at the seminar in Zurich.
The probability of not creating it with the 3 minutes transition is felt higher than to create it.
But thank you for your advice
Should be possible if the train is on time. No other alternative?
Please more detailed information on how far is the footpath in Wittenberge station from platform 2 to platform 4 and they said the man manages to come within 3 min at Wittenberge station from platform 2 to platform 4 I must run or suffice to walk normally
I looked at a picture. The tracks are directly next to each other, connected underground as you know through a tunnel. This is easy to do in 3 minutes when you run it is 200% feasible.
Thanks for explaining!
I often drive train. In spite of timely advances, trains are hardly waiting for connecting travellers, even when ICE is moving to ICE, because the road loads are too tightly clocked and everything else would impede too much, with a huge backlog on other trains. Even if the next connection is only 4 hours later or even the next day, you’ll have bad luck and arrive later.
And in order to know it, you have to find a passenger car before the station in time, feeling that the delays always disappear in no place and only the drinks & snack sellers who have nothing to do with it are on the go.
But if they say the man does this to create casually, that is already OK for me so that I don’t have to run
I can’t promise. According to my knowledge, the connecting train is waiting.
So I can create this connection casually without having to run and what if, for example, my train has delay and does not arrive at the actual time, the other train then waits because according to the route in the direction that I only have to give a track behind Wittenberge and there should also be one against traffic
