Have you been to Gare du Nord?

I ask because I wasn't. From satellite maps it appears to me that not all tracks of Gare du Nord are in the hall, only 16 - but maybe what I see east of the old hall is built over the extension of the eight other tracks? But for Leipzig, it's certain all tracks are under the halls. (There are a number of stations that have more tracks than Leipzig only with not all tracks covered. For example, Munich [32 tracks + 2 underground], or Paris Gare de l'Est [30 tracks]. But in meters, Leipzig Hbf's width beats the latter, too.)

Ten other tracks. At last I found a track map on page 20 of this pdf. That's 26 total. But from the photos on page 21, three tracks aren't covered - Frankfurt and Leipzig (and possibly Gare Saint-Lazare and Gare Montparnasse) are still ahead.

thanks, I stand corrected.

On the other hand, since then I could ascertain that the Sant-Lazare and Montparnasse stations do have 27 resp. 24+4 tracks and all are covered, so Leipzig still loses on most tracks under the halls...
