Hi Kozzie, hi everyone! <br /> <br />Over here in Croatia you have to use both terms, they're not interchangeable or synonyms. Usually the first platform of a station "serves" only one track, but if you have more tracks, and if you build more platforms parallel to the platform 1, each of these additional platforms usually serves 2 tracks. If your platforms are long enough for two or more trains, then you can divide them into two or more segments and call each segment a different platform. <br />So to avoid confusion, you tell the passengers their train will be departing from platform X, and also specify from which of the two tracks - if the platform has more than one. <br />In case you were wondering, platform is "peron", and track is "kolosijek" in Croatian. <br />I'm becoming an expert in providing info that people don't really need and never really asked for! [:O] <br /> <br />Have fun and best regards, <br />Oliver
