On the rails again…
Today I am going from Frankfurt to… Frankfurt
If you look at any railway timetable, or signage, you’ll see that Germany’s 2nd busiest railway station is referred to as Frankfurt(Main) Hbf. The brackets imply there are in fact two, the Main one and… the other one
The Main Frankfurt has over 750,000 people living it. The other one has a comfy 58,000
The Main Frankfurt has a huge train station, with 31 platforms serving the needs of 493,000 daily passengers. The other one has a more modest station with 6 platforms.
The Main Frankfurt is a financial hub, and hosts the headquarters of European Central Bank. The other Frankfurt hosts the headquarters of a Sparkasse.
The Main Frankfurt was where Holy Roman Emperors were crowned. The other Frankfurt was a bustling hub of the Hanseatic league
The Main Frankfurt is where I am starting today, the other one is where I will finish… Frankfurt(Oder) Hbf

@moof But why is there no spaces in ”Frankfurt(Main)Hbf” on the DB website and in their app? The physical station signage does have whitespace.
