'''''Junction station''''' usually refers to a [[railway station]] situated or close to a [[junction (rail)|junction]] where lines to several destinations diverge. The usual minimum is three incoming lines. If we look at a station with platforms running from left to right, the minimum to qualify as a junction station would usually be one line on the left and two on the right (or vice versa).
