|bottom = }} A cross-platform interchange is a type of interchange between different lines in a metro system. The term originates with the London Underground;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Google News )〕 such layouts exist in other networks but are not commonly so named. In the United States, it is often referred to as a "cross-platform transfer". This station configuration occurs in a system with island platforms, with a single platform in between the two directions of travel, or two side platforms between the tracks, connected by level corridors. The benefit of this design is that passengers do not need to use stairs to another platform level for transfer, thus increasing the efficiency of commuting. Building a cross-platform interchange may be costly due to the complexity of railtrack alignment, especially so if the railway designers also arrange the track with flyovers (which is typically done to increase efficiency). A common two-directions cross-platform interchange configuration consists of two selected directions of two different lines sharing an island platform, and the respective return directions of both lines sharing a different island platform in the same station complex. ==Types of cross-platform interchanges== Types of cross-platform interchanges describe which trains shall be interconnected cross-platform. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cross-platform interchange」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
