At its most basic, a railway station consists of a place without any facilities where trains stop. Stations usually have one or more platforms constructed alongside a line of railway. However, railway stations come in many different configurations - influenced by such factors as the geographical nature of the site, or the need to serve more than one route, which may or may not be connected, and the level of the tracks.

Examples of individual tunnel stations (i.e. not forming part of a complete metro, or underground railway, system) are: Torontos Bloor Street Viaduct bridges the Don valley; road traffic uses the upper deck, rail traffic uses the lower deck. ...
