The designing and constructing, as well as the operating and managing of train stations, are complex operations. Multiple stakeholders and a good program of requirements determine the quality of a station. In order to further professionalize the Asset Management position within the NS (Dutch Railways), there was a demand for a generic program of requirements for stations. The development of a well-thought-out basic program of requirements and a 5-steps-action plan for life cycle management provide better programming and Asset management for several categories of train stations, with less effort.
