We got to Frankfurt Hbf in ten or fifteen minutes. I saw the train schedule board by us and was surprised to know the variety of its destinations. Trips by trains in Europe must be fun without hyperbole. I like to watch cable TV programs featuring trips. On cable TV, programs on trips by trains in Europe were frequently aired and this scene was what I'd always seen on the screen. However, actually viewed, the magnificence of this station was overwhelming.
By the way, we hadn't met any conductor in the train. Was it ok? We didn't need to buy any tickets, did we? Come to think about it, the number of ticket vending machines was a whole lot smaller than that of passengers. If a conductor wanted to check tickets, it would be almost impossible to walk through the packed train. There was no entrance and exit of the platforms either here.
