Berlin Wuhletal station

The U-Bahn platforms at Wuhletal
Platform with S- and U-Bahn trains

Wuhletal is a railway station in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district of Berlin. It is served by the S-Bahn line S5 and the U-Bahn line U5. The U-Bahn started serving this station in 1989.[1]

The station consists of two island platforms paired by direction, with the S-Bahn serving the outer faces of each platform and the U-Bahn the inner faces of the same platforms. This makes interchange between the two modes very easy and is a unique situation in Berlin. At 160 metres (520 ft) in length, the platforms are the longest in the Berlin U-Bahn network.[1]
