Central Station
Central stations or central railway stations emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century as railway stations that had initially been built on the edge of city centres were enveloped by urban expansion and became an integral part of the city centres themselves.Kellerman, Aharon. "Central railway stations" in ''Daily Spatial Mobilities: Physical and Virtual'', Oxford: Routledge, 2012. pp. 159-161. Bán, D. ''The railway station in the social science.'' The Journal of Transport History, 28, 289-93, 2007. As a result, "Central Station" is often, but not always, part of the proper name for a railway station that is the central or primary railway hub for a city. Development Emergence and growth Central stations emerged in the second half of the nineteenth century during what has been termed the "Railway Age".Richards, Jeffrey and John M. MacKenzie, ''The Railway Station'', Oxford: OUP, 1986. Initially railway stations were built on the edge of city centres but, subsequent ...

Regional-Express
In Germany, Luxembourg and Austria, the Regional-Express (RE, or in Austria: REX) is a type of regional train. It is similar to a semi-fast train, with average speed at about 70–90 km/h (top speed often 160 km/h) as it calls at fewer stations than '' Regionalbahn'' or S-Bahn trains, but stops more often than ''InterCity'' services. Operations The first Regional-Express services were operated by DB Regio, though since the liberalisation of the German rail market (''Bahnreform'') in the 1990s many operators have received franchise rights on lines from the federal states. Some private operators currently operate trains that are similar to a Regional-Express service, but have decided to use their own names for the sake of brand awareness instead. Regional-Express services are carried out with a variety of vehicles such as DMUs (of Class 612), EMUs (of Class 425 or 426) or, most commonly, electric or diesel locomotives with double-deck cars, the latter often with ...

EuroCity
EuroCity, abbreviated as EC, is a cross-border train category within the European inter-city rail network. In contrast to trains allocated to the lower-level "IC" (InterCity) category, EC trains are international services that meet 20 criteria covering comfort, speed, food service, and cleanliness. Each EC train is operated by more than one European Union or Swiss rail company, under a multilateral co-operative arrangement, and all EC trains link important European cities with each other. The EuroCity label replaced the older Trans Europ Express (TEE) name for border-crossing trains in Europe. Whereas TEE services were first-class only, EuroCity trains convey first and second class coaches. The EuroCity schedule was designed with train pairs running one train in both directions, thus resulting in a more frequent service than the TEE, which normally ran only once a day. Criteria The criteria EuroCity trains are required to meet include the following: * train through two or m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
