Wie finde ich mich besser auf dem Bahnhof zurecht?
Mit meiner Studentenkarte kann ich die Züge benutzen, aber es ist manchmal schwierig die Informationen zu kriegen die ich brauche. An den gelben Aushängen stehen zwar Gleis, Stationen, Zugnummer und Uhrzeit, aber als ich gestern zum Gleis gegangen bin stand dort schon der Zug, die Anzeigetafeln über dem Gleis haben aber noch nicht die Zugnummer angezeigt sodass ich nicht wusste ob das jetzt schon der Richtige war oder nicht. Mir ist auch nicht ganz klar weshalb manche Gleise 101, 901 etc genannt werden. Die auf dem Bild dargestellten Daten sind mir ebenfalls nicht ganz klar.
The train departs at 15:28 on Friday the train is divided and one part drives to Hof the other part to Nuremberg (but everything is also announced on the train)
Hello
Usually there is a display on or on the train indicating the train number.
The platform display should actually already run in this case, but it does not always do that, for example, in the case of a spontaneous track change.
In addition, you will usually find a white arrival plan right next todran, where you can see in doubt what train has arrived on the track and whether it will continue with the same line number.
In addition, I strongly recommend the app, where you will find real-time data for arrival and departure.
What’s wrong with you? You read this in the column from left to right. First the departure time and below may be the traffic days when the train does not travel daily. For example, at RE 3562, he doesn’t drive Fridays.
Instead, on Friday the RE 3790/RE 3562, which is divided on the way and then serves two different route sections.
In addition to the departure time is the train number and train number. RE = Rewgionalexpress, RB = regional railway, these are both trains of local transport. ICE or IC would be trains of long-distance traffic. A bicycle symbol under the train number means you can take a bike.
Then the train runs in the next block, so where the train goes and what stops there are. It is also mentioned here whether the train travels a certain section of the route only on trimmed days. The circle with the point in the middle is: until here all the stops are listed, then only the most important.
Finally, the last is the track from which the train departs.
Why? they are called, you can’t care as a passenger. This has to do with the function of the tracks in the station and their location in the track image.
You’re very unfriendly!
Lolwhat?
Some platforms or Tracks are located between two main bars or outside of them, which is why they have two or three digit numbers for better differentiation. There are mainly regional railways or freight transport, or there are secondary routes without connection to the main routes.
The numbers are also on the trains.
Sometimes departure times shift, then listen to the passages at the platform or question the train staff or train staff in the vicinity.
Alternatively, use the DB Navigator app on the smartphone or both of the traffic network you are using. In most cases, delays or changes are displayed in a timely manner.
If this plan is difficult to understand for you, install the app of the web or the “Offis” app. Both work throughout Germany and are clearer than these yellow writings.
What the symbols mean, the track explains: https://inside.bahn.de/fahrplan-symbolen-erklaerung/
The most important are the crucified hammers, which means that the train only drives on working days.
But the trains also have their numbers. Mostly on the front, often on the side.
You can read the information.
The platforms are usually well signposted.
And you study…
Just ask a train employee who will be happy to explain the schedule.
