The trains will also have level access from platforms. From the video,
it looks like this is planned to be achieved mainly by raising
platforms, though I wonder if the train floors will also be lower?


If they lower the train floors then they'll be ****ed on curved platforms
unless they reduce the width of the floor as per S stock which is a really
poor design decision for a packed tube train which needs all the standing
room it can get.
