World’s First Railway Station: The station was built between 1875 and 1880 by the Cheshire Lines Committee, and was officially opened on 1 July 1880. The architect was Sir John Fowlerand the engineers were Richard Johnson, Andrew Johnston and Charles Sacré. . It had two wooden platforms serving four tracks. When the station opened, the temporary station became Manchester Central Goods.

Pakistan’s First Railway Station: Pakistan has a rich railway heritage spanning almost 200 years which it owes the British. It was in 1847 when the first railway was imagined but it was not until 1861 when it came into existence in the form of the railway built from Karachi to Kotri.

Quetta was considered as an important strategic destination during British Raj. Quetta railway station of Quetta, Balochistan. Quetta is connected to Lahore by a 1,170-kilometre-long (727 mi) railway line. Similarly, it is also connected by rail with Peshawar (1,587 kilometers (986 mi)), Karachi (863 kilometers (536 mi)) and with Zahedan, a city in neighboring Iran.

Colonial Architecture: Colonists frequently built settlements that synthesized the architecture of their countries of origin with the design characteristics of their new lands, creating hybrid designs. In the British colonial age predominantly representative buildings of the Indo- European style developed, from a mixture of European and Indian-Islamic components.

Railway station architecture is not just the architecture of the station building. It includes the design of separate platforms and canopies, or the train shed (i.e. an the overall canopy for the platforms and tracks), if any. Also, shelters can impart the characteristic face of the station and be more than a utilitarian form of construction.

 Life costs  Positive impacts social, economic & environmental  Site ecology  Regeneration
Station designs need to cater for a broad range 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.
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.
