That made me laugh...particularly your example because it's spot-on. After living abroad for a while, you kind of get used to speaking "English for foreigners." Very clearly pronounced, simple sentences, easy vocabulary.


OP: yes, the Frankfurt station you listed in your first post is the main station in the city of Frankfurt.

Also, to avoid getting on the wrong train: look at departure boards, they will tell you the platform and track number. And jutting out almost to the edge of the track (once on the platform) will be a sign indicating where the next train is heading, and when it will be there.
