Platform

At Innsbruck Central Station, most trains depart from the platform (No. 1-7) and are divided into areas A, B, C and D. On the departure screen, you will see the various trains entering and leaving the station through these areas and the platform.

The train departs from the upper level, so there are two passenger passages under the platform that can be used to enter the train from the departure hall. However, when taking the train from Innsbruck Central Station, please pay special attention to which station area your train will leave.

When you face the platform from the departure hall, the passenger lane on the far left of the hall is the fastest route to the A area. The channel on the right enters zone C and zone D as quickly as possible. If your train departs from Area B, both passenger passages are available. If you start your journey in Innsbruck and your train departs from platform 21-22, you do not need to use any access as they can enter from the south side of the departure hall.

If your train is not listed on the departure screen, you can use the yellow "Abfarhrt" departure poster to see the details of its departure.
