Talk:Railway platform

message: I should have added to the talk page here detailing my changes. Essentially, I kept most of the content, but reworked it heavily, rewriting some parts and creating proper sections. Comments/edits welcome! Zoney 11:50, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reworking 

message: The Japanese Wikipedia has quite an illustration.
:After careful study, and a bit of babel-fishing - I would say there are too many specific types shown - covering all situations as relevant to Japan. Practices differ in countries around the world. I'll do up a diagram showing the "simple" or "standard" cases for island, bay and through platforms, without getting into train directions, single/double tracks (as the Japanese version does).

thread_title:  Illustration 

message: The article introduces four types of platform, but only describes three. What is a "side platform"? Bermicourt (talk) 11:03, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Imagine a dual track railroad and a station. The two tracks can eighther be as the island platform - or the tracks are available through two (usually narrower) platforms at each side of the dual tracks. This alouds faster trains to pass the station without the need of extending the distance between the two tracks. Boeing720 (talk) 23:47, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Side platform 

message: We have about 40 "platform 0"s in Japan. See the following site.
 Is this information useful?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MINMEURA Kenji (talk • contribs) 16:47, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Platform 0 (zero) 

message: It seems to me that platform gap could be merged into this article. It seems like this article already has related content and the gap article probably won't expand far beyond what's there — daranz [ t ] 07:44, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge from Platform gap 

message: The citations to this fact (Gorakhpur is all set to create the world's longest platform) are 3 years old.. has the construction been done or abandoned.. someone update this or else i am going to remove it from the list which will leave Kharagpur at the top.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yathish1618 (talk • contribs) 07:13, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Longest Platform (Gorakhpur?) 

message: There are a lot of images in this article and they're crowding things a bit and messing up the columns in the "See also" section. I'm going to condense it to about one per section, and start an image queue on this page for the overflow. Ibadibam (talk) 20:30, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too many images 

message: Where ever possible give the actual name of a station, if available, rather than the name of the city in which it is located. Peter Horn User talk 12:16, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I'm removing this entire section, since nobody has found a source in the five years since it was tagged.  Also, I suspect either Union Square (in use) or City Hall (closed) in NYC would beat it, but don't have sources for those either.  -- RoySmith (talk) 13:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sharpest curve 

message: A home platform is a platform from where train originates or terminates for that station only. But sometimes it can be used for passing trains also. Platform numbers sometimes in combination of numbers  and alphabet. It is mainly because additional platform created after numbers already asigned and railway don't want to change  it.  For instance  a platform built in Kalyan Railway station in India between 1 and 2 named as 1A. Platform 1 and 1A are home platforms from where mostly Kalyan trains terminates and originates.
