摘要

Parking areas, goods and passenger areas and bus facilities are installed below rail level. Habitable quarters can also be included. The doors of the station are normally closed and the whole enclosed in glass. Access to platforms would be by automatic doors. Advantages given are absence from noise and pollution and the avoidance of the possibility of passengers wandering on the track.
