Végiállomás

A végiállomás, which translates to "end station" or "terminal station" in English, is a railway station that marks the end of a particular railway line. This means that trains operating on that line will terminate their journey at this station and typically either go out of service or begin a journey back in the opposite direction.

Végiállomás can be found in various types of railway networks, from small local lines to major intercity routes. They often serve as important transfer points, allowing passengers to connect to other lines or modes of transport. In some cases, a végiállomás might be a significant transportation hub within a city or region, handling a high volume of passengers.

The design and infrastructure of a végiállomás can vary greatly. Some are simple platforms, while others are elaborate structures with multiple tracks, passenger facilities, and maintenance depots. The presence of a végiállomás can influence urban development, as it often becomes a focal point for commercial and residential activity. It signifies the furthest point a specific train service will reach, necessitating careful planning for train scheduling and passenger flow.
