layout[edit]

...all platforms may be accessed without having to cross the rail tracks. This may not be true if the station yard lies behind the passenger station, but in this case, the station may not strictly be regarded as a terminus.

It is not clear what this means. How can a part (the "station yard", whatever that is) lie behind the whole (the passenger station)? And how does the layout of a station (if that is what this is about) stop the station at the end of a line, and beyond which no trains can go, from being "strictly" a terminus? -- Picapica 18:38, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A station may be the last of a line, while the track continues a little more to a "parking area".--Patrick 01:10, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
