[edit] Station

The regional station has three platforms, 1-3. Until the opening of the of the long distance station, the regional station (up to then simply called "Frankfurt (Main) Flughafen") provided the only connection point to rail transport. Both suburban traffic and long-distance trains ran from the regional station, which led to congestion from time to time. Diesel-powered trains could only use the station if they produced low levels of exhaust gas.
