of activities and should be resilient to the
changing conditions experienced within a
station, both during the operational day and
throughout the year. Depending on context,
station design may also need to
accommodate a range of operational
scenarios, such as major events, changes to
service, or adverse weather conditions.
19. The Station User recommends the Railway
Station Use ability Principles to the
Government, to improve the design and
operation of railway stations, from a user and
community perspective. There are no simple
and easy solutions that can address all the
issues that users have raised. The panel has
tried to ensure that its recommendations are
meaningful and sensible for improving railway
stations.
The principles will help the Government meet
public expectations around train stations,
delivering a better public transport system.
