Strasbourg

Strasbourg has three passages that run under the platform and connect them to the main hall.

The central passage in the middle of the platform is accessible via stairs and escalators.

Access to the north and south passages via stairs and elevator/elevator.

If you arrive by train and are happy to use the stairs, just use the first stairs you see.

However, if you have luggage, etc., you must find a lift or escalator.

Similarly, when you enter Strasbourg Station, there are three routes to take the train.

If you walk from the city centre and use the main main entrance, you will see the passage leading to the train ahead.

This passage has stairs and escalators, and the train (platform/track) that leads to the train.

If you want/need to use the elevator to get into the train, they are available, but you will need to use either of the two alternative routes to the train.

You will find them at the end of the channel, which extend left and right from the main hall.
