. improved platform train interface


I can just about guess
the other ones, but this has me really puzzled.


Do not 'mind the gap' anymore, perhaps?


I don't think the platforms on the W&C are curved and gappy anyway. I
suspect they mean level access ... but since IIRC the Bank platforms can not
be reached from the street by a wheelchair anyway, that seems fairly
pointless. Then again, it's batter to get this stuff done when the line is
shut than to have to shut the line again when a lift is put in. I guess that
the NSE stripes on the platforms will be disappearing.
