Might be an even better idea if they had some free water fountains on
each
platform.

It wouldn't be allowed by H&S. Water would have to be in sealed
containers.

Is that motivated purely by H&S considerations or (being cynical) could it
be that bottled water can be charged for (and therefore someone can make a
profit out of those sales) whereas a water fountain cannot easily be made
profitable?

What is the perceived hazard from having water coming out of a tap, the way
it has done for many decades and the way that it still does in private
houses? As long as the water comes from the rising main and not from a
storage tank, I don't see what the problem is.
