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.

The safety benefits are considerable and they may well improve dwell times.

Also improved air flow and cooling.

I fail to see how - they're only 7 foot high. If the train was completely
sealed off from the platform the sure, but it isn't. Any train heat just
wafts up and over.
