pThis book describes many of the features of the design of rail stations. It discusses the nature of rail systems, and how this impacts upon the design of rail stations. The different types of stations are identified. Also the configuration of rail stations, and how they are structured, is identified and discussed. ppThe book also discusses passenger flow modelling. This involves the calculation of the speed of movement of people through a rail station what impacts that movement, and how to maximise the flow of people. The impact to rail operations is also dicussed, such as the increase in headways that comes from poor station design.ppMany examples and photos are provided for different station designs. Photos awere taken from across Australia and South East Asia. Many examples are drawn from Hong Kong.ppAlso discussed is station design for light rail. Light rail stations are defined through their relationship to the roads that are commonly nearby, and the position of light rail statio
