A railway station is a facility where trains stop to pick up and drop off passengers. It typically includes platforms for boarding and alighting, ticket counters for purchasing tickets, and waiting areas for travelers. Stations can vary in size from small, local stops to large, busy hubs that connect multiple train lines. In addition to trains, railway stations often provide amenities such as restrooms, shops, and food services. They serve as important points in the transportation network, linking cities and regions. Many stations are also designed with accessibility features to assist passengers with disabilities.
