I'm booked on a night train from Innsbruck to Rome next month. It departs at 11 pm. However, I noticed that the Rail Europe website says that train station closes at 7:30 pm. Then, on the oebb.at site it says the Obb Lounge and the Travel Center close at 9:30 pm, so clearly the Rail Europe site is wrong. While I may be knit-picking, I want to make sure I can get in the building later that evening, and to my 11 pm train. I've had too many experiences of missing things in Europe 'cause the hours I had were incorrect, or I didn't check them first. Thanks!

According to the Austrian Rail website, www.oebb.at/pv/de/Rund_ums_Reisen/Am_Bahnhof/Bahnhofsinformation/index.jsp, the Travel Center in the Innsbruck Hbf is open until 5:30 PM, weekdays only, the ticket counter until 8:45 PM, daily, and the lounge until 10 PM. I think the building itself is always open, services just close. Under Barrier Free (for handicapped) they say that the lift is available 24 hours a day.

Thanks. Wow, different times yet again. As long as the building is open, that's cool. I know it would be logical that a station with a late night departure would be open late/all night - but I've learned that 'logical' doesn't always work (at least in France). Austrians are probably more logical. :-)
