Study Notes
Amenities for Railway Users
- Provision of amenities is a key function of railways, aiming to maximize comfort and improve service quality.
- Basic amenities should be prioritized based on station type and traffic.
- Additional amenities, tailored to passenger needs and station importance, can be planned. Sophisticated technology should be considered where feasible.
- Norms for passenger amenities are reviewed and revised based on committee reports, like the 1967 Railway Catering and Passenger Amenities Committee. Norms are specific to various station types and traffic levels. Specific dates and letter numbers (e.g., 68/W2/AMNI/31, 24-3-1970) for revised norms are documented.
- Minimum passenger amenities, irrespective of station size except for halt stations, include waiting halls, benches, suitable lighting, drinking water, improved toilets, paved platforms, and proper booking arrangements.
- Halt stations need rail-level platforms, appropriate length for prevailing trains, booking offices, night lighting, and shady trees. These amenities are specifically detailed. The minimum length of the platforms should be considered according to train length.
- Important stations may offer additional amenities like covered platforms, raised platforms, water coolers, upper-class waiting rooms, bathrooms, enquiry offices, refreshment rooms, footbridges, washable aprons, train indicator boards, closed-circuit television, and improved circulating areas.
- Efforts should be made to constantly improve passenger amenities within available funds.
- Good sheds and parcel offices should offer proper approaches, accommodation, waiting rooms, electricity-aided fans (when available), lighting, drinking water, facilities for traders and merchants, telephones, improved delivery windows, cranes, weighbridges, and fire-fighting equipment. Specific facilities for traders and merchants are highlighted.
- Amenities for goods and parcel traffic should be planned and selected based on traffic volume and earnings. A programmed basis for implementation is recommended. Selection is based on the importance of the goods shed and the volume of traffic.
