How do stations work in Ticket to Ride Europe?

Each city can only have one station, and at the end of the game, before tickets are scored, the station must be assigned to one of the routes (of another player) radiating from that city. You do this by “sitting” the station on that route. Players can play a maximum of 3 stations during the game.

How are train stations used in ticket to ride Europe?

A Train Station allows its owner to use one, and only one, of the routes belonging to another player, into (or out of) that city to help him connect the cities on his Destination Tickets. My interpretation is that this allows you to do what it says, use a single route owned by another player.

Every train departs from a designated station. The stations are usually designated by which direction the train is travelling in or by the train types (TGV vs TER). So of course all trains departing from Gare du Nord travel to … yes, you guessed right! They travel north.

How many routes can you choose per station?

Only one route is ever chosen per station. This means that a player can’t have a station grant him the use of two routes for two different tickets, but any number of tickets can use the chosen route. The Train Station owner does not need to decide which route he will use until the end of the game.

Why are routes connected to stations not counted?

Any routes connected by stations won’t show up as complete during the game, but, when scoring, WILL count (and will be green and ticked). The reason this is so is because when you use a station, you technically are able to choose which route you use (in theory, anyway), and thus, ‘counting’ a route as finished would be pre-emptive for the game.
