Yes. The place where the floor of the subway in the station has
trenches in it so that people who are pushed down there or jump
off can lie under the train as it goes past.

London has that, except for on the Jubilee line extension where they
don't need it because the platform edge doors prevent people from
getting to the track. Although I believe some stations even have it on
that.

I'd not like to try
it, though. For some reason the Glasgow Subway has minging,
eggy-smelling orange water running down the train tracks and
stagnating in big puddles in the stations. You really have to see
it to believe it.

I've seen that sort of thing on the tube, I'm not sure where but I
think Tottenham Court Road is a likely candidate.
