{{Concepts sidebar}}
A station is a set of one or more [[platform]]s whose footprints overlap on each other (in particular, a single platform is a valid station too). Stations are the main destination kind available for picking as a [[line]] [[stop]] (the other being [[waypoint]]s). [[Pax]] [[Spawn rate|spawn]] at stations, travelling from their [[Origin|origin station]] to a [[Destination|destination station]].

There are no limits on how many platforms can be combined into an station, including overlapping them at any [[layer]] or aligned in any orientation.

== Passengers ==

Passengers travel from an origin station to a destination station. They are also able to transfer between trains at stations. Passengers can only travel by train, and they will never walk between stations.

== Station properties ==
[[File:Station_properties.png|200px|thumb|left|Station properties]]
The station properties window is used in the [[Tracks menu]] to edit the station's properties, including:
*The station name
*The station label display settings
*The station coverage area (affecting the reach of the station, and hence the [[spawn rate]] of passengers)

The station properties window also has a locator button (next to the "Done" button) to jump to the location of the station.

=== Station names ===
Using the "use automatic name" box,

==== Using station names as tags ====
As of [[Version 1.5]], NIMBY rails does not support station tags. An advanced strategy is to use the station name as a kind of station tag system, which can help in understanding certain menus that do not support tagged listings, as well as the [[Accounting export]]. For example, starting the station name with the stations [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomenclature_of_Territorial_Units_for_Statistics|NUTS] regional code can make it easier to do regional aggregations on the accounting export.

== Station window ==

=== Passengers ===
Passengers can be show in
*Show all
*Show best current trip. This functions as an "in game routeplanner" for the current time.
*Show dominating trips. This functions as an "in game routeplanner" across time.
*Group by destination
*Group by origin
*Group by waited line stop
*Group by next stop

=== Platforms ===
[[File:NIMBYWikiCapacity.png|150px|thumb|left|Station capacities]]
A platform is a special piece of track which a train can use for loading/unloading passengers. Platforms also affect the capacity of the station depending on how many there are, with the capacity increasing from 50 people with a single platform station to 10k people at a station with 15 or more platforms.

=== Accounting ===
Stations have their own [[Accounting]] window, showing the accounting events that occurred at this station.

== Stations as depots ==
[[Depot|Depots]] are technically just stations that are used for a particular purpose, storing trains for longer periods of time. Depots do not require any kind of special building to function.
*The station coverage area can be set to zero. This prevents pax from spawning or choosing the depot as a destination.
*The station label display settings can be made less prominent.
