Hi Bozena & welcome to the forum.

We would call this a split level station. They are uncommon, but we have (or have had in the past) a few in the UK.
The closest to me in the South East was at East Grinstead in West Sussex. This had High Level and Low Level stations crossing each other at right angles (90 degrees), but the High Level station closed in 1967 and was demolished in 1970. The Low Level station is still open for traffic.

Currently operational split level stations in the UK include:
Tamworth station, Staffordshire

Lichfield Trent Valley station, Staffordshire

Retford station, Nottinghamshire

These are the only stations that I know of in the UK but there may be others! There are also several examples of stations with parallel platforms at different levels (including London Bridge, St Pancras International and Portsmouth & Southsea for example) and these would also be known as split level stations.

Hope this helps and good luck with your project.

Tony
