Platform sound effects, mostly the railway kind. Trains pulling in and out, with announcements and passenger chatter, on underground and overground platforms in big cities across several continents. Subways and bullet trains alike. A few strays wandered in as well: a hydraulic lift platform, and footsteps in platform shoes.

A platform scene usually builds in layers. Underneath sits the station ambience, with crowd walla and passengers chatting. On top come the Announcement and the trains moving in and out, with screeching rails on an Underground line. Some sets keep going inside the carriage, so a character can step aboard and the sound follows them into the journey. That saves a lot of matching. The long ambisonic recordings suit wide shots and VR, where the space has to wrap all the way round. Steam trains and bullet trains both have their own platforms here, so the station can match wherever the story is set.
