Train Platform from WikiPedia:
A railway platform is a section of pathway, alongside rail tracks at a train station, metro station or tram stop, at which passengers may board or alight from trains or trams. Almost all stations for rail transport have some form of platforms, with larger stations having multiple platforms. The term platform is most commonly used, in British usage, for designated areas where trains stop (Platform 1, 2, 3, etc. Only Cardiff, Haymarket, Stockport and Uppsala have a platform 0 (zero); the American equivalent is track). Technically speaking, the term platform actually refers to physical continuous sections of platform area. So such a physical platform may contain several "designated" platforms.
The term railway platform can also mean any type of freight platform beside a rail siding for loading/unloading freight to/from rail cars.
