VRIOGS 002.1 Railway Station Design Standard and Guidelines

VRIOGS 002.1 Revision A 459.13 DDA BOARDING POINTSAs per the DSAPT 23 boarding points for passengers who require a boarding device toboard the train shall have a firm and level surface to which a boarding device can bedeployed. This area will include a circulation space and access paths as per the DSAPTrequirements.A waiting shelter shall be provided adjacent to the first door of the train carriage. This is toallow passengers with disabilities a sheltered waiting space to allow for the driver to assistloading.9.14 PLATFORM LIGHTING AND ILLUMINATION9.14.1 Design RequirementsInterior and exterior lighting on platforms at new stations shall use white light. If the stationis to undergo a major refurbishment - white light shall be installed.The positioning of platform lighting shall consider the requirement by the AROsmaintenance personnel to access lighting fittings from within the warning strip.9.14.2 Exterior Lighting and Illuminationi. LocationLighting installations must not interfere with signal sighting, the drivers’ line of sight, orthe operations of CCTV installations and Passenger Information Displays (PIDs).Where this is unavoidable light globes should be shielded.

Locationii.Poles shall not be located within an access path and shall be set back fromthe platform edge at a minimum distance as described in Section 18.4Platform Width. Light Poles shall be positioned to prevent obstruction topassenger movement. Pole location shall not interfere with signal sighting.Engineering RequirementsThe engineering design requirements for platform light poles shall include:a) All pole lighting shall be powered by an underground supply;b) Pole earthing and Multiple Earth Neutral (MEN) connections are tobe in accordance with VRIOGS 0010.1;23 DSAPT Part 8.1NOTE: This document is controlled only when viewed on the DOT Engineering Standards website.
