scope:

This document applies to the spatial aspects of station planning in the following areas:

• Public areas within stations

• Operational staff accommodation

• Evacuation.

The aims of the document are to:

• provide all the information required by an architect or other designer to produce an outline station design of sufficient detail to provide a ±35% cost estimate and to feed into a passenger modelling process;

• provide information that shall be used to identify the station 'footprint' and to ensure that station proposals meet the requirements of HMRI Railway Safety Principles and Guidance (Part 2 section B Guidance on Stations).

Compliance with this document will produce a station that has minimum congestion.

This document is not intended as a complete set of detailed design standards, and other standards are cross-referenced where necessary.

The standards within this document are contained within Strategy & Service Development Standard 1-371, Station Planning. This document as a whole forms a Good practice guide within the suite of Strategy and Service Development (S&SD) Standards and Guidelines. For a list of other S&SD Guidelines or hardcopies contact the CSDS Helpdesk, telephone number 020 7918 4656, csdshelp@tube.tfl.gov.uk This guide is also a complement to all other LUL standards, British Standards and HMRI Railway Safety Principles and Guidance.

Applicability

This document applies to all new stations, new assets within existing stations and altered assets within existing stations, whether they are surface stations, enclosed stations (Sections 12), heavily used central area stations or lightly used outer suburban stations.
