This handbook constitutes a part of the Swedish Transport Administration’s development of expertise in the planning and design of stations. This part, which is the first of two, is aimed primarily at our own employees, but also at other stakeholders participating in work on sta- tions. The subject field is broad, and for the reader who is already a specialist within one subject area, the book will hopefully provide useful knowledge about some additional subject area. The original version of the handbook (in Swedish) can be found here: Stationshandbok (publikation 2013:060)
