Why is it in this country - and elsewhere in europe it has to be said - that
we really don't like building platforms that are level with the train floor?
There's always a step up. This is understandable on curved platforms where
the gap would be an issue, but on dead straight ones there is no excuse yet
they're still lower. Only recently have we started building them level. Even
the 1960s Victoria line tube suffers from platforms lower than the train floor
other than on short sections where LU has raised them.
