It is recommended to have rooms for receiving and issuing baggage, as well as storage rooms, close to the main routes of traffic flows of arriving and departing passengers. Points of reception and delivery of baggage sent by tickets should have a convenient connection with the station square (for unhindered access, unloading and loading of special cargo transport)and with the platform. It is recommended to place the baggage compartments on the same level with them when installing tunnels for baggage. A large group of rooms is designed for waiting and relaxing passengers-waiting rooms and long-stay rooms, mother and child rooms, VIP rooms. It is recommended to place them in a relatively quiet, non-moving area with good visibility from the main halls of the platform. The reserve for increasing station capacity is the use, especially in the southern areas, of open green yards, terraces protected from the sun and weather, flat roofs and large balconies. The hall can have the character of a cozy impassable hall in small and medium-sized passenger buildings.

Directly at the waiting rooms, you should also place public catering establishments — a cafe-buffet, snack bars, a restaurant. They are calculated for at least 10% of the station capacity. Waiting rooms usually have sanitary blocks, sometimes small tailor’s offices for consumer services and hairdressers, and arrival halls have a medical center with rooms-boxes for sick and weakened passengers. Sometimes there are halls for watching movies and TV shows in the largest structures that serve transit passengers. Thus, along with the dominant functions (passenger service, administrative-service and facility-technical), the station complex performs related functions: trade, food, hotel, entertainment, recreational, exhibition, consumer services, car maintenance. The peculiarity of the mutual placement of complex functional groups consists in the most convenient organization of connections between them; the most important thing is the absence of intensive flows intersection and the close placement of premises that require constant interconnection.
