Introduction

Liege Gyman Station is located in Liege, Belgium and is currently available for 9 months. As an important node of the European high-speed rail network, the Hercules high-speed train (Thalys) and the German-made Intercity Express (ICE) stop here. This station is also an important hub for local traffic operated by the Belgian National Railway. About 500 trains pass through the station every day.

It is arguably the most amazing 21st century railway station in Europe. If you are interested in building and take the train past Liège-Guillemins, please get off and take the next train! It is also a relatively easy to use train station, although in a windy winter, it is best to have a passenger passage under the platform until a few minutes before the train departs.

Although the building is beautiful, its conservation is not ideal.

Platform

The new station house uses steel, glass and white concrete as building materials. Its magnificent dome is 200 meters long and 35 meters above the ground. The station was originally scheduled to be completed in April 2006, but was actually postponed until September 19, 2009, two weeks after the completion of the entire building, officially opened.

There are a total of nine tracks at the station: the 1st and 2nd track lines are used for the ICE international line, and the 3rd and 4th lines are used for trains to Brussels. There are five 8-meter-wide island platforms, three of which are 450m long for the re-connected Hercules high-speed train; the other two are 300m long.

The Belgian National Railways regards the construction of the new train train in Liège as part of the modernization of the Belgian railway, optimising its position in the European high-speed rail network connecting London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Cologne and Frankfurt. After 2009, the operation time of Cologne and Liège was shortened to less than one hour.
