Unravel the whys.
It is very blind friendly station. The floor is grooved so that they could find their desired platform. Hand rails are carved with Braille and sign for easy identification of their location. These little ideas are not just fantastic; they are simply a work of a genius.
The tracks are implanted on a concrete so that it lessened the tremors, vibrations, noise of the train as high-speed InterCityExpress sled into it assigned slot. So less noise means a better communication environment not only for the staff and clients but for everybody. Perhaps this new innovation augments the total light ambiance of every train station. The lessening vibrations of the train station are due to the suspension system inserted in the platforms body.
Another great innovation is the computer-automated voice over. Indeed the passengers won’t worry of missing there train.
Engineers also made nifty precautions and made an automatic extra track if there is a train derailment. The walls of the train are prevented from tipping over to adjacent track so it was made concrete.
With all those innovations that made train travel in Germany really great… there is one thing more I really admired. The building design! The 2 tracks are made as if to blend in with crowd. You will never miss to view the Federal Chancellery, the heart of the city, Potsdame Platz, Reichstag and the Holocaust from the train station.
The station receives and delivers 300,000 guests all over Europe and cater and home over 1,100 trains daily.
