Hannover: The new terminal EXPO/Ost (called Messe/Ost after EXPO 2000) seen from south. There are three tracks, the middle one can be used for incoming or leaving trains, depending on the stream of passengers. The next switches are in the back of the photographer - enough room to have a train of four TW 2000 (100 m) here and the next already at the platform. Photo: Lutz Koch.
