Platforms are a type of port. Once discovered, they are marked on the chart with the icon.
About[]
Platforms are smaller ports that do not have the full range of options found in stations. They may or may not have bargains available but do not have shops, with the exception of two smuggling platforms. They are generally in the same local area as a station. For example, Company House and
Victory Hall are separate ports from
New Winchester, but within the game context are part of the city;
Wit & Vinegar Lumber Company is in the city of London, but is a separate port from
London.
