Default "Use the full length of the platform" at Tower Hill

Has anyone noticed that an announcement is made at Tower Hill prior to
the arrival of a train suggesting to "use the full length of the

nearly take up the full length.

Has LUL considered the idea of painting coloured lines on the
platforms to indicate where trains on each line will stop? *That would
help the situation somewhat.


At King's Cross (where Met trains are much longer than Circle or H+C
trains) there are small signs on the tunnel wall opposite the
eastbound platform that are intended to inform people that only Met
trains stop at the western end of the platform. However they are easy
to miss, and easy to misunderstand.
