two tracks, one in each direction.

Interchange: two or more line converge ideally

at one station.

Terminal: occur at the end of a line.

SUB-STATION

Auxiliary substation

backup for metro station as it contains water

backup, electrical backup, chillers for

cooling. A separate tunnels runs which is

connected to main station from where a shaft

runs to platform level.

TYPES OF PLATFORMS

Island: Tracks are on side and

platform is In between

Side platform: Two platforms are on both

sides tracks are in Centre

between two side platforms.

LEVELS OF STATION (underground)

AFC gates are

connecting area of

paid and unpaid area

LAYOUT OF STATIONS

The layout of station is influenced by the

track geometry, operational requirements,

predicted passenger flows and electrical and

mechanical requirements. It is divided into

public and non- public areas. The public area

is further subdivided into paid and unpaid

areas.

Platform

The platform level have adequate space for

passengers during normal and delayed service

conditions.

CONCOURSE

The concourse contain the automatic fare

collection system in a manner that divides the

concourse into distinct areas. The unpaid area

is where passengers gain access to the

system, obtain travel information and

purchasing tickets. On passing through the

ticket gates the passenger enters the paid

area which includes access to the platforms.

CONCOURSE

Concourse is planned in such a way that

maximum surveillance can be achieved by the

ticket hall supervisor over ticket machines,

automatic fare collection(AFC) gates, stairs

and escalators. Ticket machines and AFC

gates is positioned to minimize cross flows of

passengers ad provide adequate circulation

space.

VERTICAL MOVEMENTS

Lifts For Disabled

A hydraulic lift is provided for

disabled to gain access from the

street level to the concourse

and then to the platform levels.

The lift shall not by-pass the

paid area gate line, therefore it

will be necessary to have more

than one lift. Ramps are

provided where a change in level

is not negotiable by lift.

Provision of escalators and stairs

Stations are designed to

accommodate passenger movement

between two floors levels in paid

area using escalators for up

movement and staircases for down

movement. If the total height of

descent in paid area is more than

7.5m for interchange passenger

movement, escalators shall be

provided for down movement also.
