INTRODUCTION

Railway station refers to an establishment with platforms and associated buildings for a train to pick up and put down passengers. The railway station is one of the most famous inventions in the age of the industrial revolution. Railway transport is significantly important for transportation of goods and people because of its high load-carrying capacity.

The invention of railway transport brought a new type of architecture called Railway station Architecture, it demanded new design considerations and components that make up a railway station. The efficient design of the railway station should create a homogeneous structure and a logical flow of passengers that allow easy, seamless, secure and safe flow to get to the train, wait and change to various modes of transport.

TYPOLOGIES OF RAILWAY STATION

The railway station is typified according to their

* Territorial size
* Geographic Location;

Sub-urban,

City access

* Functions
* Frequentation

Type 1 – Very large stations; > 50,000 incoming passengers/ day (Very large station)

Type 2 - > 30,000 incoming passengers/ day (Large stations)

Type 3: 10,000 – 30,000 incoming passengers/ day (Medium stations)

Type 4: < 10,000 incoming passengers/ day (Small stations)

* level of service
* role in urban transport network
* Traffic range

Design of Station zones

A logically organized station helps passengers not to wait for transfer more than necessary. The station should be easy to understand and quick to orient. There are must be a strong relationship between station’s physical structures, activities and services. Basic functions are usually installed in permanent places and therefore they cannot easily be altered to changing needs and demands. Walking times to platforms should be minimized by the installation of grade separated passages.

A well designed functional station comprises of multiple building blocks that should be linked together to form a working and high-quality station environments. The station is an entire area that includes station building and other facilities. However, the station area should be marked by the main entrance as the focal point in order to facilitate orientation and tie functions together.

The essential task of zoning is to create a logical pattern of movement for different types of passengers like the ones that are familiar with the station environments and those that are unfamiliar.

Despite of the type, size, form and context of the railway station, there are four main zones

# Arrival zone
# Service zone
# Communication zone
# Platform

Arrival zone

It is the external area where a station and its surrounding environments meet. This is a zone of setting down and picking up passengers. It consists of the bus stop/ bus terminal, bicycle/ motorcycle, auto-rickshaws terminal, taxi rank, set up and pick up point for private cars, parking and foot paths. It can also include road service traffic to the platforms and trains. Set down pick up zone for different modes of transport might be on both sides of the station with major side being on a bus stop, followed by the side with car parks. These subdivisions enhance the integration of different transport modes even in cramped (congested) urban districts, they enable easy traffic and movement patterns around the station environments. Designers should consider for shortcuts in order to distribute flows at various points and reducing lead times. However greater emphasis should be given at the set down/ pick up zone to enable clarity for infrequent passengers also, where to get off the bus, where to pick up the luggage trolley and where to go to the trains. In a station with a direct connection between trains and buses through a platform without other service areas. When it happens that the station has not any identifiable entrance it is advisable to establish parks and station forecourts outside the station building as a mark to arrival zone.

Services area

Services fall into two categories those that directly relate to the journey and those that are not necessary. Main services are ticket sales, ticket machines, information desks, traffic information, toilets, and waiting areas. The other functions are luggage storage, kiosks, eateries, cash machines, bureau de change, car parking, hotels, and shops. The main service functions are mainly placed next to the main corridors and intersections. The other less important functions can be placed on other pass-ways at the station. In larger railway stations commercial, cultural and other types of services are integrated together the main transport area planned at the back. The separation of passenger services and commercial services at varied floor levels makes operation function smoothly. But the grouping of services enhances a high level of integration.

Communication zone

A communication area links set-down/ pick-up zones with platforms usually through the service area. It helps to enhance the functional performance of the station through well designed accessible lifts, escalators, sized stairways, bridges, underpasses. A communication area should be visually clear, demarcated, lit and with a shallow grade for all passenger groups to use.

Platform

Platforms enable passengers to board and disembark from local trains, regional trains and long-distance trains and in certain instances platform can allow for change from trains to bus or tram. Waiting spaces should be provided in the platforms closer to passing trains. The platform allow for pedestrians and only service trucks to pass through. Platforms should also be sheltered to promote comfort and good experience while waiting. In the platform zones can be categorized into pedestrian zones for both slow and fast passengers, seating, shelters, transport information to enable efficient circulation.
