The planned openings have been confirmed by he minister for mobility, François Bausch, in an answer to a parliamentary question by Greens MP François Benoy.
Luxembourg's main train station is at full capacity at present, especially at peak times, and the rail service has drawn strong criticism from commuters. Despite this, CFL posted few delays and cancellations for 2018.
The opening of the new track and platform should improve and alleviate congestion problems.
In December 2021, platforms 5 and 6 are planned to be fully put into operation. The same applies to the three additional tracks currently under construction.
Minister Bausch's also suggests that a new footbridge is also supposed to be ready by this point in time. The footbridge aims to make it easier to access platforms, in particular for people with a disability or limited mobility.
