What a tough decision…everything else can be dispensed with, and discretion says to just run for one's life, but those instruments cannot be easily parted with. Amber turns around.
"Have you got a plan to get in, and more importantly, get out?"

There are… things… about that viol that make it if particular concern. Things that Amber rather not stitch into coherent thoughts. Things that make that make parting with that particular viol particularly unpalatable.
Helder:
“Well, not really.”
Federkleid:
“Would you want to wear that all the way to border?”

"The sooner we get back there, the better, before the entire train is emptied and searched."
Amber curses the hasty decision she made in rushing out with the crowd, losing valuable minutes.

There are multiple potential ways to the platform, including three doors on the one side, at least one on the opposite side, and of course the entries and exits of the trains.

Looking inside, she sees that the platform with the train now has several police and medical personnel responding. The train platforms are not completely cleared of civilians, however, as a platform across from it has a number of griffins on it. Either they came back, or came in only after the gunshots.

Best then to head to the platform with the onlookers and mingle among them, looking for the luggage car.

There are indeed several griffins roaming about that train, with coach cars of green livery, on the platform opposite Amber's former train. The luggage car is further down on the train, and Amber may have to cross the tracks to get to it in the shortest, police-free distance.

Looking both ways to ensure she won't get squished, she hurries across the tracks and between the two trains down to the luggage car.
There ARE two trains, right?

The platforms are several feet higher than the rail. It's not impossible, but the height differential makes it difficult to do quickly.

Let's redo the section. I don't like how the layout of the platforms was not described
The station platforms are "bay" style, with the steam locomotives (all of the locomotives are steam) backing into the platform. The train Amber was on was on a platform close to the main entryway. Amber must walk right past the train in order to get to the other trains. More to the point, the car that Amber was on was the second to last on the train, and thus Amber must pass near the police activity. There are at least two more long platforms past Amber's train, with one having a train on the right side, and thus leaving that platform exposed to view from inside Amber's train.
The luggage car does have the great advantage of being nearly as far away on the same train as it can be from the car of the most activity. Unfortunately, to get to it Amber would need to either walk on the platform past the activity, or cross across rail to get to the car.
The platforms are definitely much lower in activity than before, with Amber's train and the waiting area having been evacuated. There is another train on the other side that still has griffins going to it, who either returned or never heard the gunshots. The police have not sectioned off the platforms to prevent everyone from entering, or at least, they have not done so to unrelated platforms. Amber sees at least four police officers roaming about and two medical personnel, although that is likely only a fraction of the activity.

She breathes out, and looks down.
“I’m ‘under investigation.’ I would be suspended if they hadn’t lost so many agents to transfers… they are betting on the Ciry trying to keep quiet about the whole thing. Betting they don’t want to escalate the situation. But if the bluff is called, I am their scapegoat.”
