<P> A railway platform is an area -- normally paved or otherwise prepared for pedestrian use , and often raised to a greater or lesser degree -- provided alongside one or more of the tracks at a railway or metro station for use by passengers awaiting , boarding , or alighting from trains . Almost all stations have some form of platform , with larger stations having multiple platforms . The world 's longest station platform is at Gorakhpur Junction in India at 1,355.40 metres . </P>
