300 mm (11.8 in) above rail for long-distance trains; 760 mm (29.9 in) above rail for commuter trains; 550 mm (21.7 in) above rail for shared platforms; For 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 + 27 ⁄ 32 in) or 1,524 mm (5 ft) broad gauge lines, passenger platforms shall be as low to 127 mm (5.0 in) above rail should be allowed.
The Stockholm urban area (in blue), the largest urban area in the Nordic countries. The area includes land both inside and outside of the municipality of Stockholm. This is a list of urban areas in the Nordic countries by population.
Map of the world with rail density (length of rail network divided by area of country) highlighted. This does not necessarily reflect actual rail use. This is a list of countries by rail usage. Usage of rail transport may be measured in tonne-kilometres (tkm) or passenger-kilometres (pkm) travelled for freight and passenger transport ...
This table shows all cities or conurbations with a total urbanised area of at least 5,000 km 2, according to Demographia's annual World Urban Areas [62] publication, that uses a consistent methodology between countries to provide comparable population and area figures.
