I doubt that platform doors will be fitted. There might be passive provision
but doors on just 2 Northern Line stations doesn't look likely to me.

I always thought they were an expensive white elephant that served little
purpose but TfL seems to like them - they're going in on crossrail - so I
wouldn't put it past them to install just on 2 stations.

I'm sure you've been told before that they reduce the need for
ventilation shafts and so reduce the cost of a new station.

How would they reduce the need for ventilation shafts? They're not
floor to ceiling.
