What are the types of Railway Land?

Railway land is divided into three categories:

  1. Pocket Land
    • This refers to railway land that is separate from railway operations.
    • In the past, it was often used for staff quarters or as quarry sites for railway needs.
    • Today, this land is highly suitable for commercial development (with approval from the Town and Country Planning Department and Local Authorities) because of its high market value
       
  2. Surplus Land
    • This is land connected to railway operation areas, whether it is currently in use or not.
    • It has strong potential to generate income through rental, leasing, or development that benefits the railway industry.
       
  3. Operation Land
    • This land is fully involved in railway operations, such as along railway tracks and within station areas.
    • However, income can still be generated along the tracks, provided that safety is always prioritised when granting rental or lease rights.
