railway platforms
Where passengers board
Railway platforms are the raised surfaces alongside tracks where passengers board and exit trains.
In British usage, platform often designates the track itself: The train now arriving at platform four.
American English prefers track for this sense.
Platforms may be covered or open, and typically feature benches, shelters, and departure information.
