The underground station "Rathaus" in the city centre of Cologne, seen on 9 December 2012. It is the northernmost stop of the new underground line through the city, and the only one as yet in service, as only the section from here to the main station is used so far. By now only line 5 serves this station. This picture shows the intermediate level between the surface and the platform level. Stairs and escalators leading down to the platforms can be seen on the left, next to the stairs up to the surface. Another exit to the surface equipped with escalators is behind the corner on the right, while the second access to the platforms opposite to the first one is out of the picture on the right.
