Background information:
The modern kiosk can be found on platforms (sometimes several per platform) and in passerelles or pedestrian tunnels, when these are sufficiently wide and crowded. These small shops sell drinks, snacks, magazines and more conveniences for the trip. Although the kiosk is usually permanently manned by one person behind a counter, no tickets are sold in Dutch kiosks. The Markenburg platform range also includes a platform segment with the modern kiosk already integrated. (Item number Bet07) The separate item 01RHP17 becomes interesting when a kiosk is desired in a passerelle or on another non-platform situation.
Architectural details:
The modern kiosk is easy to recognize by the large glass fronts. On the long facades, these fronts are framed by a robustly designed gray frame. These frames also keep the roof upright. The roof is slightly oversized at the fascia, so that technical installations on the roof, such as air conditioning, are largely hidden from view. Furthermore, the roof protrudes somewhat at the ends relative to the floor surface. This way you can stand dry just before the entrance. Despite the fact that the roof of the kiosk is of course perfectly watertight, we also regularly find the buildings under the platform roofs.
