鉄道駅世界

A train station is a railway facility where trains stop so passengers can board, leave or transfer between services.

Stations may include platforms, waiting areas, ticket machines, information displays, toilets, shops, bicycle parking and car parking. Facilities vary greatly between stations.

Yes. Many stations act as transport hubs connecting trains with buses, trams, metros, taxis, bicycles or other forms of transport.

Many stations provide designated parking areas. Parking may be free, paid, time-limited or reserved for particular users, so drivers must follow the local signs and parking conditions.

A Kiss and Ride area allows drivers to stop briefly to drop off or collect passengers without using an ordinary parking space. Waiting or longer-term parking may be prohibited.

Many stations provide bicycle racks, shelters or secure bicycle-parking facilities. Local conditions determine whether these facilities are free or subject to payment.

Use only the authorised crossing, bridge, tunnel or other designated route. Never cross railway tracks directly unless an official crossing specifically permits it.

Wait on the designated platform and remain a safe distance from the platform edge, particularly when a train is approaching or passing through the station.

This depends on the station rules. In many systems, cyclists must dismount and walk their bicycle through station buildings and along platforms.

Expect increased numbers of pedestrians, cyclists, buses, taxis and vehicles entering or leaving parking areas. Reduce speed where necessary and pay particular attention at crossings and station entrances.
