0 a short stay in a place that you make while you are on a longer journey to somewhere else:
We had a four-hour layover in Chicago.
2 a short stay at a place in the middle of a trip, especially one by plane:
We had a three-hour layover in San Francisco.
This is the layover allowed at the terminal points for documentation, inspection of the vehicle and so on.
A century ago, it was the nesting and migratory layover for many birds, which depended on its variety of plants.
The other four tracks at the station area are used as the layover facility for the line.
Trains can either layover there, allowing other trains to pass them by, or reverse direction from this position.
The tracks continue south (compass west) beyond the station to a formerly unused storage and layover area.
Line maintenance services include routine servicing of aircraft performed during normal turnaround periods and regularly scheduled layover periods.
The new station was located south of downtown where parking and a layover yard could be easily built.
Two sidings west of the station to the north of the running lines provide layover facilities for works trains.
