all you need is a concrete platform. Relatively cheap, and last approximately forever.

And electricity, and employees, and maintenance, and amenities, and land ownership or leasing cost, and utility taxes, and environmental impact costs, and….

Tbh do you really need all of that at any train station? Now you could sell the tickets on a website or with a machine. Land yes, that's true. Don't actually need really any amenities although would be good of course. Even electricity barely needed if it's day only. Seriously at the end of the day you dont even need a roof.
