Main Building Areas for Different Types
of Railway Stations
The main facilities provided in
the case of a small station are a waiting hall, booking hall, assistant station
master's (ASM) office, and storeroom. Different designs have been standardized
for each type of station by the various railways, which provide all the
facilities required by small and medium-sized stations. When considering big
stations, however, the design of an individual station building has to be
drafted based on the requirement of passenger traffic with due regard to its
architectural features.
Central Railways has prepared a
type drawing for wayside stations, which provides different facilities for
different types of station buildings as summarized in Table 26.2.
