A side platform (also known as a marginal platform or a single-face platform ) is a platform positioned to the side of one or more railway tracks or guideways at a railway station, tram stop , or transitway . A station having dual side platforms, one for each direction of travel, is the basic design used for double-track railway lines (as opposed to, for instance, the island platform where a single platform lies between the tracks). Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track.
