A railway platform is an area alongside a railway track providing convenient access to trains. Almost all stations have some form of platform, with larger stations having multiple platforms.
The world's longest station platform is at Hubballi Junction in India at 1,507 metres (4,944 ft).[1] The Appalachian Trail station or Benson station in the United States, at the other extreme, has a platform which is only long enough for a single bench.[2]
Among some United States train conductors the word "platform" has entered usage as a verb meaning "to berth at a station", as in the announcement: "The last two cars of this train will not platform at East Rockaway".[3]
