The Innsbrucker Westbahnhof (officially Innsbruck Hbf-Westbf ) is the second largest train station in Innsbruck . It is mainly used by commuters, as only regional or S-Bahn trains on the lines 
, 
and 
stop.
meaning
For operational reasons, the Innsbruck Westbahnhof is important for the Innsbruck railway location, as the ÖBB repair workshops are located here, as well as a washing facility for rolling stock. In addition, trains that end in Innsbruck Hauptbahnhof are mostly parked overnight at the Westbahnhof. The main station is connected via the so-called concert curve . There are also loading tracks for companies that are located directly on the station premises. In order to be able to efficiently handle the frequent shunting trips between the freight station and the Westbahnhof, it is connected to this by a third track, which is located next to the two main tracks and branches off to the freight station shortly before the main station.
The station is the starting point of the Karwendel or Mittenwaldbahn , which branches off the Arlbergbahn in the station area and leads via Seefeld in Tirol to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and on to Munich .

Station building
The station building at Egger-Lienz- Strasse 1 was erected in 1906/07 as a two-storey building with a hipped roof on nine front axes in late historical forms with Secession style (sparse decor with geometric motifs and stylized festoons on wedge stones , pilasters and the clock top). The three central axes are designed as a risalit , with the central axis being broadened. The Risalitobergeschoss is a pilaster and a cornice provided and is supported by a pedestal decorated attic crowned with Watch Tower. The wall surfaces have a groove that is bent over the segmental arched ground floor openings to form wedge crowns. The windows - as far as they are still original - have a three-part muntin and transom . The floors are divided by a cordon cornice .
Mainly because of the lack of accessibility , the station was named among the top ten “least liked stations” in the VCÖ rail tests in 2011, 2013 and 2015. A modernization including barrier-free conversion is to take place by 2022.
