Railway station in Switzerland
Altdorf railway station is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Uri and municipality of Altdorf. The station is situated on the Gotthard railway north of its crossing of the Alps, and is the most southerly station before that line splits into the older route via Erstfeld and the original Gotthard Tunnel, and the newer route via the Gotthard Base Tunnel.[1][2] The station was reconstructed between 2019 and 2021.[3]
Layout and connections
Altdorf has a side platform with a single track (No. 1) and an island platform with two tracks (Nos. 4–5). Both are 220 metres (720 ft) long.[4]
