[edit] Track Layout
The Lhasa passenger railway station is large compared to current needs as it has four track serving two island platforms, all undercover of an overall roof. There is room for one more island platform and three more tracks.
The departure indicator shows the next four trains, in both Chinese and Tibetan, though the headings are in Chinese only. The times and train numbers are in Latin alphanumeric characters. [1]
