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.
