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 plus 35 per cent cost estimate and to feed into a passenger modelling process

• Provide information that shall be used to identify the station 'footprint'

• 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. Other standards are cross-referenced where necessary.

The standards within this document are contained within Strategy & Service Development Standard S1371, Station Planning. The document as a whole forms a Good Practice Guide, G-371A, within the suite of Strategy & Service Development standards, and complements all other LU standards, British Standards, and HMRI Railway Safety Principles and Guidance.
