"By leaving a gap in the platform you can create additional platform numbers along the same length of track within the same station.

Unfortunately you can't place any canopy over the gap, though terrain paints might help make it look less bizarre.

Or, you could place a short length of cargo platform in the gap and then perhaps add some passenger steps? best of all maybe we could get (from Urban Games or our lovely modders) something like a 'null' platform that isn't a stopping point but just an attractive length of filler?"

@Robert Mountjoy, I haven't actually tried that in TpF2. It worked fine in TpF1 so I'd imagine it still works in TpF2.

i just thought it was interesting, and have potential uses, to have one station with a variety of platform arrangements. Using modular stations in this way might also make it easier to extend the catchment area of the station.

But, at the end of the day, the game gives us many options and different ways to design our worlds in whatever way we prefer. Whatever floats your boat. :)

@ Ajax
okay... but I just don't get it. Why configurating a Station and not simply use a second one?

Just place on 80m Passener Station and then the second one conecting to the first. From the pure Vision aspect you do have one 160m Station but technically two seperate stations.

Do I miss something, does this not work?

Absolutely right, @Robert Mountjoy.

It's a simple way, perhaps, of having two trains of the same type coming into the station on the same track at the same time, most likely from opposite directions. Cargo and Passenger platforms are counted as belonging to separate stations so don't need a gap to differentiate them.

You only do need a gap if creating two stations of the same kind. I usualy do the same with one passenger and one cargo station... and this doesn't need a gap inbetween.
