Recordist's notes

A train is arriving. But not very many people are leaving the train. An anouncement just stops without telling when the train to Neuwied is leaving, kind of significant for the situation. Perhaps there is no 'Abfahrt'... Later the sound for the anouncement is repeted twice, to reassure the listeners? The microphone walks back to the platform that connects all platforms. It is a little bit more busy. A lot of anouncements for other trains are made. There are a lot of suitcases, but different from the days before Corona you can count them. Another train is arriving. Some people are leaving, again a lot of trolleys. Some passengers are arguing. An anouncement anounces a train to Darmstadt, on the other track a train to Berlin is anounced by text, but the text vanishes and the train to Berlin on track 12 becomes the train to Darmstadt formerly on track 13. Nearly nobody is boarding. At least the train from Wächtersback is arriving.
