In mid-2007, work started on the establishment of a DB Lounge for first-class travellers and bahn.comfort (BahnCard) customers, which was forecast for completion in 2011. As part of the economic stimulus package, Deutsche Bahn is renovating the station building with energy-related measures. Platforms and railway tracks The station still has extensive trackage used by both passenger and freight trains. The southern two tracks (201 and 202) are only for freight. The platform next to the station building is used for parking inter-city and has no rail services. On the remaining five island platforms the following passenger services are carried out: platform B: tracks 2 and 3 (local traffic), length: 435 m platform C: tracks 4 and 5 (long-distance and local traffic), length: 473/444 m platform D: tracks 6 and 7 (long-distance and local traffic), length: 417/365 m platform E: tracks 8 and 9 (local traffic), length: 300 m platform F: tracks 10 and 11 (local traffic), length: 323/329 m All platforms are 76 cm high, which is one of the two standard heights used in Germany. Step-free entry is still not possible to any one of trains running, as Deutsche Bahn has no long-distance trains with entrance heights of 76 cm and the regional trains used here are mostly of older construction and can only be entered by taking several steps at the entrances. The DB subsidiary Westfrankenbahn on its service to Bad Mergentheim partly uses new class 642 diesel multiple units, which are also not barrier-free despite their low floors, as their entrances are 55 cm high, so that passengers have to step down. The length of three of the five platforms (B, C and D) make them suitable for long-distance services and they are divided into five platform sections. Platforms C and D are over 410 metres long and almost their whole length is required for full-length Intercity-Express (ICE) trains. At the end of 2006, the previously common split-flap platform displays were replaced on the platforms and in the underpass with modern screens using LCD technology. The platforms can be reached through a tunnel located at street level. Like the platforms, it is not designed for the current passenger traffic. The platforms are not accessible for the disabled, although the long-distance platforms and platform F have baggage conveyor belts. But at present there are no escalators, lifts or ramps.
