- choeger 5y agoHow many of these train stations have been built after 1950? And what defines "large" in both cases?
- jeltz 5y agoThe train station in my city has 80 million travellers per year compared to the airport which only has 27 million. And while I do not think many train stations have been built since the 1950s many have been expanded.
- iagovar 5y ago? I don't think so? Every large city has both a train station and a large airport.
- gspr 5y agoI don't know what you mean by "large" then. In the context of this discussion, I meant train stations served by high speed rail and airports with regularly scheduled commercial service. The former vastly outnumbers the latter in continental Europe.
- dividedbyzero 5y agoDefinitely not in Germany. There are lots of medium to large cities without an airport, but every one has a large-ish train station with decent connections.
- kaba0 5y agoDue to the nature of the two, train stations are usually in the center of cities, while airports have to be quite outside. Also, in my experience there are usually more than one train station in larger cities but even smaller ones have them. While airports are only a few even at a country level.
