Düsseldorf HBF (Hauptbahnhof) or Main Train Station. Underneath the words "Abfahrt" ( Departure ) and "Wagenstandanzeiger" ( Coach position indicator ), the latter is one of those very long words that are characteristic of the German language. It tells one where one's car and seat are located and where to line up to board the train at the right place. 
Unfortunately it did not work for me. When the train rolled in I saw the first class car pass me by. It was at the front of the train, contrary to what the 'Wagenstandanzeiger' had shown. Either the board was wrong, or I had a senior moment, anyway as a consequence, after getting on, I had to walk the entire length of the train to get to my seat. |
