Railway Platform s at railway stations on double lines can be side platforms or Island Platform s. With side platforms, track centres remain the same, and no space is lost for slewing the track to wider centres, as would be needed for an island platform. Side platforms usually have access to neighbouring streets. The distance between the track centres (track centerlines midway between rails) is typically about 4 m, while each side platform might be 5 m wide. The use of side platforms in new train and subway stations may be severely limited if space is at a premium due to regulations regarding the minimum width of platforms. with two side platforms, and a Footbridge connecting them.]] SEE ALSO |
