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.

The S Stock has changed that of course.
