Side Platform with Adjacent Greenspace

Well vegetated garden adjacent to station platform makes waiting for the train more pleasant.
Note: side platform, not island platform. Side platforms create a better defined, more room-like outdoor public space than an island platform. And they allow better connection to adjacent space, in this case a garden.
