Editing Cross-platform interchange (section)

==== Munich ====
[[Munich U-Bahn|Munich metro]] offers coordinated cross-platform connections at both ''[[Scheidplatz (Munich U-Bahn)|Scheidplatz]]'' (metro lines U2/U3) and ''[[Innsbrucker Ring (Munich U-Bahn)|Innsbrucker Ring]]'' (metro lines U2/U5) metro stations; all same-direction connections are optimised, so that usually U2 and U3 respectively U5 trains of the same direction arrive, stop and depart at the same time.

''[[München Neuperlach Süd station|Neuperlach Süd]]'' is a combined station for [[Munich U-Bahn|Munich metro]] and [[Munich S-Bahn|Munich suburban rail]]. Original plans intended cross-platform interchanges in both directions at parallel [[island platform]]s. However, Munich suburban rail is still single-track there, and offers therefore only cross-platform interchange in the outbound direction and from outbound (terminating) Munich metro U5 services to inbound Munich suburban rail S7 services. Although possible, the arrival and departure times of both lines are not matched together.

Within the [[Munich S-Bahn|Munich S-Bahn (suburban rail)]] network, ''[[München-Westkreuz railway station|Westkreuz]]'', ''[[München-Giesing railway station|Giesing]]'', ''[[München Berg am Laim railway station|Berg am Laim]]'' and ''[[München Flughafen Besucherpark railway station|Besucherpark]]'' junction stations offer cross-platform interchanges for transfers between both branches. Under discussion are cross-platform interchanges in the same running direction for connecting the central bypass to the existing trunk route at least at ''[[München-Laim station|Laim]]'' and ''[[München-Leuchtenbergring station|Leuchtenbergring]]'' stations.

At ''[[München Donnersbergerbrücke station|Donnersbergerbrücke]]'' suburban station, cross-platform interchanges can be made in the same running direction between the S-Bahn lines along the trunk route and lines S7, S27, [[Bayerische Oberlandbahn|BOB]]; although not interconnected by timetables. However, the S-Bahn lines along the trunk route run frequently during most of the day: every 2 to 6&nbsp;minutes on lines except S7, and every 2 to 4&nbsp;minutes including the S7.

At ''[[München Ost station|Ostbahnhof]]'', cross-platform interchanges have been possible since 2004 between regional trains from [[Rosenheim]] and [[Mühldorf]] to S-Bahn lines towards [[Ebersberg]], [[Erding]] and [[Munich Airport]] (only in these directions).

Further cross-platform interchanges between [[Munich S-Bahn]] and regional trains can be made at ''[[Freising]]'', ''[[Petershausen]]'', ''[[Geltendorf]]'', ''[[Grafing]] Bahnhof'' and ''[[Markt Schwaben]]'' stations, as Munich S-Bahn partly runs on mainline tracks anyway.
