Why do the doors curve in at the bottom?


It helps to stop them hitting the platforms... :-)

Seriously though - they've been designed to be a best fit for the
infrastructure over the entire sub surface network, including those lines
where platforms are a compromise height because they are shared with tube
stock.


But none of the current sub surface stock seem to require it. In fact the
A stock actually goes outwards slightly. So whats difference about the S
stock?
