Gleisänderung f (genitive Gleisänderung, plural Gleisänderungen)

  1. (rail transport) platform alteration, platform change, change of platform

Usage notes

[edit]
  • In German-speaking countries, train departures/arrivals are assigned to a numbered track (Gleis), not a platform (Bahnsteig or Perron). In practice a Gleisänderung (literally “track change”) has broadly equivalent effect to a platform alteration in UK railway terminology.
