Bay Platform





OVERVIEW


An example of a station which has a bay platform is Rugby Railway Station , which has two through platforms and two working bay platforms, as well as 2 abandoned bay platforms.

Trains which use a bay platform have to reverse direction and depart in the direction from which they arrived.

Bay and island platforms are so named because they resemble the geographic features of the same name.


DOCK PLATFORMS


Dock platforms are similar to bay platforms, but are smaller, and originally used to unload freight.
