CENTRAL STATION DESIGN

PAGE :12

A train station, railway station, railroad station is a railway facility where trains regularly stop to load or unload passengers or freight. It generally consists of at least one trackside platform and a station building providing such ancillary services as ticket sales and waiting rooms. If a station is on a singletrack line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements.

INTRODUCTION

The smallest stations are most often referred to as «stops» or, in some parts of the world, as «halts» (flag stops). Stations may be at ground level, underground, or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems.

Broad Green station, Liverpool,shown in 1962, opened in 1830, is theoldest station site in the world still inuse as a passenger station.

Terminology In the United States, the most common term in contemporary usage is train station. Railway station and railroad station are less

frequent.

In Britain and other Commonwealth countries, traditional usage favours railway station or simply station, even though train station, which is often perceived as an Americanism, is now about as common as railway station in writing railroad station is not used, railroad being obsolete there. In British usage, the word station is commonly understood to mean a railway station unless otherwise qualified. In North America, the term depot is used most commonly as an alternative name for depot, railway depot, and railroad depot, but also applicable for buses and other vehicles, especially in rural areas where it might be understood as a direct equivalent to stop or halt. Outside of North America, a depot is place where buses, trains, or other vehicles are housed and maintained and fromwhich they are dispatched for service. History The worldâ&#x20AC;şs first recorded railway station was

The Mount on theOystermouth Railway (later to be known as the Swansea and Mumbles) in Swansea, Wales, which began passenger service in 1807. The twostorey Mount Clare station in Baltimore, Maryland, which survives as a museum, first saw passenger service as the terminus of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on 22 May 1830. The oldest terminal station in the world was Crown Street railway station in Liverpool, built in 1830, on the Liverpool to Manchester line.

As the first train on the LiverpoolManchester line left Liverpool the station is slightly older than the Manchester terminal at Liverpool Road. The station was the first to incorporate a train shed. The station was demolished in 1836 as the Liverpool terminal station moved to Lime Street railway station. Crown Street station was converted to a goodsstation terminal. The first stations had little in the way of buildings or amenities. The first stations in the modern sense were on the Liverpool and

INTRODUCTION

Manchester Railway, opened in 1830. Manchesterâ&#x20AC;şs Liverpool Road Station, the second oldest terminal station in the world, and the only surviving station, is preserved as part of the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. It resembles a row of Georgian houses. Early stations were sometimes built with both passenger and goods facilities, though some railway lines were goodsonly or passengeronly, and if a line was dualpurpose there would often be a goods depot apart from the passenger station.

Opened in 2006, Berlin Hauptbahnhof is a large station at the crossing point of two major railways and features modern, abstract architecture. Berlin used to have a ring of terminus stations, similar to London and Paris, but these were gradually replaced with through stations over the period of 1952â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1882.

Grand Central Terminal in New York City is the world›s largest station by number of platforms, having 67tracks on two levels.

Dualpurpose stations can sometimes still facilities are restricted to major stations. In rural and remote communities across Canada and the United States, passengers wanting to board the train had to flag the train down in order for it to stop. Such stations were known as «flag stops» or «flag stations». Many stations date from the 19th century and reflect the grandiose architecture of the time, lending prestige to the city as well as to railway operations.

INTRODUCTION

be found today, though in many cases goods

Countries where railways arrived later may still have such architecture, as later stations often imitated 19thcentury styles. Various forms of architecture have been used in the construction of stations, from those boasting grand, intricate, Baroqueor Gothicstyle edifices, to plainer utilitarian or modernist styles. Stations in Europe tended to follow British designs and were in some countries, like Italy, financed by British railway companies Stations built more recently often have a similar feel to airports, with a simple,

abstract style. Examples of modern stations include those on newer highspeed rail networks, such as the Shinkansen in Japan, TGV lines in France and ICE lines in Germany Station facilities Stations usually have staffed ticket sales offices, automated ticket machines, or both, although on some lines tickets are sold on board the trains. Many stations include a shop or convenience store. Larger stations usuallyhave fastfood or

INTRODUCTION

restaurant facilities. In some countries, stations may also have a bar or pub. Other station facilities may include: toilets, leftluggage, lostandfound, departures and arrivals boards, luggage carts, waiting rooms, taxi ranks, bus bays and even car parks. Larger or manned stations tend to have a greater range of facilities including also a station security office. A basic station might only have platforms, though it may still be distinguished from a halt, a stopping or halting place that may not even have platforms. In many African and South American countries, and in many places in India, stations are used as a place for public markets and other informal businesses. This is especially true on tourist routes or stations near tourist destinations. As well as providing services for passengers and loading facilities for goods, stations can sometimes have locomotive and rolling stock depots (usually with facilities for storing and refuelling rolling stock and carrying

out minor repair jobs). Configurations of stations In addition to the basic configuration of a station, various features set certain types of station apart. The first is the level of the tracks. Stations are often sited where a road crosses the railway: unless the crossing is a level crossing, the road and railway will be at different levels. The platforms will often be raised or lowered relative to the station entrance: the station buildings may be on either level, or both. entrance and platforms are on the same level, is also common, but is perhaps rarer in urban areas, except when the station is a terminus. Elevated stations are more common, not including metro stations. Stations located at level crossings can be problematic if the train blocks the roadway while it stops, causing road traffic to wait for an extended period of time. Occasionally, a station serves two or more railway lines at differing levels.

INTRODUCTION

The other arrangement, where the station

This may be due to the stationâ&#x20AC;şs position at a point where two lines cross (example: Berlin Hauptbahnhof), or may be to provide separate station capacity for two types of service, such as intercity and suburban (examples: ParisGare de Lyon and Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;şs 30th Street Station), or for two different destinations. Stations may also be classified according to the layout of the platforms. Apart from singletracklines, the most basic arrangement is a pair of tracks for the two directions there is then a basic choice of an island platform between, or two separate

platforms outside, the tracks. With more tracks, the possibilities expand. Some stations have unusual platform layouts due to space constraints of the station location, or the alignment of the tracks. Examples include staggered platforms, such as at Tutbury and Hatton railway station on the Derby â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Crewe line, and curved platforms, such as Cheadle Hulme railway station on the Macclesfield to Manchester Line. Triangular stations also exist where two lines

INTRODUCTION

form a threeway junction and platforms are built on all three sides Tracks In a station, there are different types of tracks to serve different purposes. A station may also have a passing loop with a loop line that comes off the straight main line and merge back to the main line on the other end by railroad switches to allow trains to pass. A track with a spot at the station to board and disembark trains is called station track or house track regardless of whether it is a main line or loop line. If such track is served by a platform, the track may be called platform track. A loop line without a platform which is used to allow a train to clear the main line at the station only, it is called passing track. A track at the station without a platform which is used for trains to pass the station without stopping is called through track. There may be other sidings at the station which are lower speed tracks for other purposes. A maintenance track or a maintenance siding, usually connected to a passing track, is used for

parking maintenance equipment, trains not in service, autoracks or sleepers. A refuge track is a deadend siding that is connected to a station track as a temporary storage of a disabled train. Accessibility Accessibility for people with disabilities is mandated by law in some countries. Considerations include: elevator or ramp access to all platforms, matching platform height to train floors, making wheelchair lifts available when platforms do not match vehicle floors, station announcements, and safety measures such as tactile marking of platform edges.

the most complex of its type

The station will become the new ‘front door’ of the city, embracing the spirit of travel, and is expected to establish Arnhem as an important node between Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The new terminal houses commercial areas, and a conference centre and provides links to the nearby office plaza, city centre, underground parking garage and the Park Sonsbeek. The area around the station will become a place in of itself, with 160,000m2 of offices, shops and a cinema complex.

STRUCTURE

The structure of the roof and twisting column was only made possible by abandoning traditional construction methods and materials; much lighter steel replaced concrete – originally intended for the station – and was constructed using boat building techniques on a scale never before attempted.

INTRODUCTION

The mega Berlin Train Station, Berlin Hauptbahnhof, architect Meinhard von Gerkanand JĂźrgenHillmer, the STUDIO HAMBURG Gerkan, Marg& Partners, is capable of receiving more than 1,500daily trains and 25,000passengers. Its construction lasted ten years have meant that some conflicts between the German rail company Deutsche Bahnand the architect, in deciding to first shorten the time of execution of the work by modifying the project. It shortened the cover of the station at 100 meters and the lower floors that serve as the underground heat exchanger to be covered, causing no daylight arrived as planned in the initial project. of 110,000 commuters per day in 2020

CONSTRUCTION

Construction The construction of the new Berlin Hauptbahnhofis a masterpiece of logistics. While conducting the excavations, groundwater levels were constantly monitored by monitors at once that they were going up the bridges and 1.5 million cubic meters of earth were removed in barges, which otherwise would have required a convoy 1300 trucks miles long. A complex part of the construction was related to the foundation, as the building rests on a sandy soil on the banks of the river Spree. To overcome this difficulty concrete ponds were constructed

at a depth of 25 meters that were filled with groundwater.

CONCEPT : For architects of Hamburg Gerkan, Marg& Partners, the determinant of the architecture was developed to emphasize the importance of the new Berlin HauptbahnhofÂť-LehrterBahnhofcrossing point in an increasingly integrated Europe. The lobby of the station is framed by two curved structures 46 feet high trying to highlight the scale crossing point between Europe and link the east and west.

RAMSES TRAIN STATION

OVERVIEW : CENTRAL STATION IN CAIRO Platforms:24 Year(s) of design: SINCE 1852 (IT IS THE 1ST TRAIN STATION IN AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE 2ND STATION IN THE WORLD) AREA : OVER THAN 23 ARCES Architect: ADWAN BATSY Location:CAIRO Country : EGYPT The original railway station was built as the terminal of the first rail link from Alexandria to Cairo in 1856. The current building was erected in 1892 and upgraded in 1955. As of January 2001 it was undergoing a major modernisation. In early 2011, following the Egyptian Uprising, Ramses station was fully upgraded and air conditioned with new marble flooring across the station and the addition of escalators.

Existing Transport Services Ramses station is one of the most important public transport stations in Cairo, as it involves the main ENR station and a number of different modes services. A number of transport facilities exist within Ramses Square,the ENR station is directly linked on the CTA bus terminal, the terminus of Heliopolis Metro, elevated pedestrian walkways and entrances to the underground Cairo Metro (Mubarak Station, Metro Lines 1 and 2). Major road facilities within the square include Ramses street and the

Problems of Present Situation of Ramses Intermodal Station

Problems of Present Situation of Ramses Intermodal Station Area Traffic and pedestrian circulation: In principle, Ramses station has the necessary infrastructure and structure to operate as an intermodal terminal, Railway, metro, tramway, bus and shared taxis are linked via the elevated pedestrian way and via the metro passage. However, major traffic problems occur near the terminal and even further on Ramses Road next to the tramway terminus, Ramses railway terminal has huge problems at the entrance and exit points. Traffic wanting to reach the terminal needs to cross the access ramp toward 6th of October expressway and gets blocked at the entrance hindering other traffic on the street. Arriving traffic via the small street in front of the NAT building (minibuses and shared taxis) gets stuck and starts unloading its passengers at that point or at any free space around the removed statue. In particular shared taxis use the road in front of the railway terminal to avoid entering the terminal. This chaotic situation negatively affects traffic on all access points and hinders through-traffic.

from one mode to another need to search their next shared taxi or minibus ride because a large number of the shared taxi do not use the designated terminal, adding to the already problematic situation outside the terminal. Mini busses and shared taxis further crowd the streets and the terminal to transport the people to and from this area. This concentration of traffic and persons generates huge congestion and the problem is further aggravated by the traffic and pedestrian behaviour and by the illegal merchants selling their products in the middle of traffic. Both the entrance and the exit of Ramses terminal are fully congested, making the traffic inside the terminal difficult if not impossible. The problems are not only a consequence of the situation outside the terminal, but are even more so caused by the chaotic behaviour of taxis and private vehicles that load and unload passengers in the terminal area.

Problems of Present Situation of Ramses Intermodal Station

At the same time, people wanting to change

Problems of Present Situation of Ramses Intermodal Station

The situation of the Egyptian National Railway (ENR) station: The ENR station at Ramses square is Cairoâ&#x20AC;şs major railway terminal and is of a high relative importance for the whole country of Egypt. However the station buildings and platforms need upgrading in many aspects. The station has got 24 platforms of varying lengths and breadths. Many of the platforms need to be extended and widened. Ticket desks are insufficient in number. Seats and shelters are insufficient and need modernization. Messages revealed through the announcing systems are not clear. Toilets and cafes need renovation. Information displays and orientation signage are insufficient and need modernization. Parking area is insufficient while the entire road section in front of the terminal is used by taxi and private cars for loading and unloading zones. More space for Kiss and ride facilities need to be provided. The status of the tunnels crossing under the platforms are good in respect of lighting and ventilation and also with respect to the materials used in walls ceilings and floorings

intermodality strategies for improved linkage between the different transport modes. A deficiency in the design for pedestrian safety and convenience is notable in the station. The environmental strategies are ignored. Equity and economic development polices and strategies are not adopted. The existing situation could be upgraded to enable the station to function effectively as the main railway terminal for the whole Egyptian country. This requires the application of the design guidelines which has been highlighted in this paper. The improvements aimed to improve modal connectivity, enhancing the environmental performance of the structures of the stations, improving the walking environment and enhancing the vitality of the station, thus achieving the sustainability goals. Strategies to be applied for Sustainability of Cairo intermodal stations would be summarized as follows: A. To improve mobility by designing stations to accommodate and enhance pedestrian movement, mobility of the impaired and improve vehicular travel. - Maintain and improve station plazas to connect bus services rail commuter rail and taxi services and pedestrian routes.. - Maintain and improve park and ride lots. - Study improved access and rail improvements within the terminal area B. To improve safety for all users and enhance passenger convenience. directional information to travelers. - Implementing travel calming measures where

appropriate - Redesign curb cuts and improve sidewalk conditions to facilitate movement of wheelchair-assisted travelers. Utilize the most effective crosswalks designs based on industry research. Urban parking garages should have ground floor retail, to create more walkable environments. - Treating Transportation corridors through the intermodal area as greenways that have the appearance of parkways and boulevards. C. To improve air and water quality and to conserve energy and water and material resources - Managing vegetation for multiple objectives: safety, air and water Quality, noise reduction, community aesthetics, and natural habitat values. - Adopting a station building form that responds in direct fashion to the physics of air movement, and to the practicalities of lighting both natural and artificial - Reuse of existing station buildings and choosing building materials with low impact during their life cycles and of high durability

Passenger space planning Space planning, is based upon passenger density and the concept of ‘levels of service’. The table below shows the correlation

Station planning standards and guidelines

between ‘levels of service’ and the quality of the passenger’s space.

The methods that follow produce sufficient space to allow free flow of passengers through public areas and to give reasonable comfort in waiting areas. The levels of service specified in the standard provide adequate levels of comfort without making stations uneconomically large.

Standard – General Space for normal operations in stations shall be planned to: a) Minimise congestion

b) Be resilient to train service disruption and surges in demand c) Provide sufficient non-passenger space to enable staff to function efficiently Station size shall be determined by the

eg ticket purchase, retailing, passage through the gateline, wayfinding, access to and from platforms, waiting for trains, boarding and alighting from trains and staff accommodation. Station planning shall ensure that obvious routes with minimum travel distances, which are free from obstructions, have good lines of sight and avoid dead ends and hiding places. New stations shall be designed to ensure that passengers with reduced mobility can move between street and train via step-free routes between levels, which comprise of lifts, ramps and level access between platform and trains. Standard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Passenger flow data The calculations for station areas shall use the average flow per minute that shall be derived from the peak 15 minutes flow. UTS gates are the exception, which shall be designed to cater for the average flow per minute derived from the peak five minute flow (see relevant section below). LU Passenger demand queries can be sent to rods&countsqueries@tfl.gov.uk

space requirements of all activities,

In the absence of observed data should peak 15 minute passenger flow data be unavailable

(eg for a new station), the factors from the following table shall be applied to the flow for the shortest peak period available (either peak three hours or peak hour) to give the peak

Station planning standards and guidelines

flows in the shorter periods. Hence:

Passenger areas derived from methodologies contained in this document shall be the net areas available after allowing for the requirements of amenities and facilities as specified in other relevant Category 1 Standards.

Platforms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; platform design

It is permitted for the width of the platform to be variable on the whole length of the platform. The minimum width of the platform without obstacles shall be the width of the danger area plus the width of two opposing freeways

taper to 900 mm at the platform ends. It is permitted to have obstacles inside this freeway of 1600 mm. Equipment required for the signalling system and safety equipment shall not be considered as obstacles in this clause. The minimum distance from obstacles to the danger area shall be according to the following table

If the distance between two small obstacles is less than 2.4 metres measured parallel to the platform edge they shall be considered as one large obstacle. Within this minimum distance from a large obstacle to the danger area it is permitted to

Station planning standards and guidelines

of 800 mm (1600 mm). This dimension may

have additional small obstacles as long as the requirements for small obstacles (minimum

distance to danger area and minimum distance to next small obstacle) are met. If there are auxiliary facilities on board trains, or on the platform, to allow wheelchair users to board or alight from trains, a free space

Station planning standards and guidelines

(no obstacles) of 1500 mm from the edge of the facility towards the direction where the wheelchair boards/lands at/to shall be provided where such facilities are likely to be used. A new station shall meet this requirement for all trains that are planned to stop at the platform. The danger area of a platform commences at the rail side edge of the platform and is defined as the area where passengers are not allowed to stand when trains are passing or arriving The illuminance level of the external areas of the station shall be sufficient to facilitate way finding and to highlight the changes of level, doors and entrances. The boundary of the danger area, furthest from the rail side edge of the platform, shall have a visual marking and tactile walking surface indicators. The visual marking shall be a contrasting, slipresistant, warning line with a minimum width of 100 mm Ticket sales points â&#x20AC;&#x201C; booking offices, information and customer-service desks

information desks and customer assistance points (thelast figer ) are provided along the obstaclefree route, a minimum of one desk shall be accessible to a wheelchair user and to people of small stature and a minimum of one desk shall be fitted with an induction loop system for hearing assistance. If there is a glass barrier between the passenger and sales person at the ticket counter, this shall either be removable or, if not removable, an intercom system shall be fitted. Any such glass barrier shall consist of clear glass. If electronic devices are fitted that display pricing information to the sales person, such devices shall also be fitted that display the price to the person purchasing the ticket

Seating, waiting rooms and shelters

On each platform where passengers are allowed to wait for trains and at every waiting area, there shall be a minimum of one area fitted with seating facilities and a space for a wheelchair. When this area is weather protected, it shall be accessible by a

wheelchair user. Within the station confines, furniture and freestanding devices (including cantilevered and suspended items) shall be positioned where they do not obstruct blind or visually impaired people, or they shall be detectable by a person using a long cane. All items of furniture and free-standing devices at stations shall contrast with their background, and have rounded edges. Crossing the track

Level track crossings in stations are permitted to be used as part of a step-free route or of an obstacle-free route according to National

Rules. If level track crossings are used as parts of step-free routes in addition to other routes, they shall: – have a minimum width of 1200 mm (less than 10 metres in length) or 1600 mm (10 metres or

– have moderate slopes; a steep gradient is only allowed for ramps on short distances – be designed so that the smallest wheel of a wheelchair, as defined in PRM TSI Appendix M, cannot be trapped within the crossing surface and the rail – where accesses to level crossings are equipped with safety chicanes in order to prevent people from unintended/uncontrolled crossing of the tracks, the minimum width of the walkways in the chicane can be less than 1200 mm with a minimum of 900 mm; it shall be sufficient for a wheelchair user to manoeuvre. If level track crossings are used as parts of obstacle-free routes, and are the only option forall passengers, they shall – meet all specifications above, – have visual and tactile markings to identify the beginning and the end of the crossing surface. – be supervised, or, on the basis of national rules, equipment for a safe crossing of blind or visually impaired people shall be provided
