Time for an idle question. I wonder why the S-Bahn station in Sachsenhausen is called "Lokalbahnhof". Very meaningless name. Surely something like "Sachsenhausen" would make more sense!

probably all the more reason to call it lokal bf then, otherwise I can see large numbers of tourist getting on a train to go and visit somewhere only to find they are somewhere else.

Lokalbahnhof is not named because it is the station out of which the Frankfurter Lokalbahn AG once didn't operate.
