===Continuation of travel in different trains=== {{routemap |title = Ormskirk layout |map = vCONTg-~~ ~~ ~~[[Ormskirk branch line|to Preston]] vSTR-PLT~~ ~~Platform 2 cd!~ENDEea\dPLT\c vSTR-PLT~~ ~~Platform 1 vCONTf-~~ ~~ ~~[[Northern line (Merseyrail)|to Hunts Cross]] }} [[Ormskirk railway station]] in [[Lancashire]], [[United Kingdom]], was a [[double-track railway]] until 1970, when it was converted into [[single-track railway]] with the track split in the centre by [[buffer stop]]s placed back-to-back. The two ends of the single platform terminate different routes, and interchange for through service is by walking along the platform. Another peculiar configuration exists at [[Pittsburg/Bay Point station]] on the [[BART]] system in the San Francisco Bay area, [[California]], [[United States]]. Mainline BART trains terminate at that station, but onward service is available via an eBART [[diesel multiple unit]] (DMU) train. At this station, eBART trains are only accessible through a cross-platform transfer at a dedicated platform {{convert|0.6|mi}} east of the main station platform. Despite this transfer, the [[Yellow Line (BART)|Yellow Line]] is mapped and signed as one continuous route. [[File:空港新城江宁站01.jpg|thumb|Single cross-platform interchange at [[Konggang Xincheng Jiangning station]] of [[Nanjing Metro]], [[China]], providing continuation of travel between Line S1 and S7.]] [[Konggangxinchengjiangning station]] of [[Nanjing Metro]], [[China]] is also a cross-platform terminal station for both Line S1 and S7, with a single island platform and [[Railroad_switch#Crossover|crossover]]s set at both ends of station, letting trains of both lines to switch back. [[Zhongli railway station]] in [[Taoyuan, Taiwan]] has a proposed cross-platform terminal plan for both [[Taoyuan Airport MRT]] and [[Green line (Taoyuan Metro)|Green line]] of [[Taoyuan Metro]]. The station layout will be composed of two island platform, between which a connecting zone set to integrated the two into a single "large platform". Buffer stops will also be placed back-to back between Airport-bound trains and Green Line trains. The scheme is scheduled to complete in 2031.<ref name="TYCG20231127">{{Cite web |title=中壢車站「三鐵共構」預計120年通車 「大月台」方案達成同一月台轉乘 |trans-title="Tri-Rail Interchange" at Zhongli Station, scheduled to open in 2031, with a "Large Platform" scheme to achieve cross-platform transfer|author=Press Liaison Section, Department of Public Information, Taoyuan City Government (桃園市政府新聞處新聞聯繫科)|newspaper=桃園市政府 |publisher=[[Taoyuan City Government]] |language=zh-tw|url=https://www.tycg.gov.tw/NewsPage_Content.aspx?n=10&s=1157447 |date=2023-11-27 |accessdate=2024-07-24 |archivedate=2024-07-24 |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20240724063755/https://web.archive.org/web/20240724063426/https://www.tycg.gov.tw/NewsPage_Content.aspx?n=10&s=1157447<!-- https://web.archive.org/web/20240724063426/https://www.tycg.gov.tw/NewsPage_Content.aspx?n=10&s=1157447 -->}}</ref>
