Where is the fourth platform?

This article, along with its German equivalent, says that the station has four platforms. Assuming we are using the word platform in its normal English railway usage (which might be better expressed as 'Platform faces' or 'Platform tracks'), then my memory of the station is of three platforms. And a Google satellite view, and all the photos I can find, seem to show just a side-platform alongside the station building, plus an island platform with two tracks.

So where is the fourth platform?. My first though was that this is possibly a artifact of different railway terminology, as Switzerland tends to number tracks irrespective of whether there are any platforms on them, and there are four through tracks in the station. But the wp:de infobox explicitly says there are four Perrongleise or 'platform tracks'.

Any ideas?. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 13:01, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chris j wood, I agree. The Abfahrtsplan lists three platforms: 2, 4, and 5. There may have been four at some point, but I think in any normal usage there are only three. Mackensen (talk) 22:38, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mackensen, wow, that must be the longest yet discussion, only 8 years!. But thanks very much for your reply, and I've now amended the article. Happy New Year. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 02:02, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
