What is an "island platform"?
An island platform is a type of train platform located between two tracks, allowing passengers to board or exit from either side of the platform. It is designed to serve trains running in both directions and is usually found in stations with multiple tracks. The platform is often accessible by stairs or escalators from either side and can provide easy access for passengers transferring between different trains. Island platforms are common in busy train stations where space is limited and there is a need to maximize the number of passengers that can use the platform.
Example
At the busy city station, the island platform allowed commuters to switch trains conveniently without needing to cross over tracks.
The island platform was equipped with benches and shelters for passengers waiting for their trains.
Trains arriving on the island platform often required passengers to walk a short distance to reach the exit of the station.
