Default Lack of trains on the drain

Also wouldn't it have been better the raise the height of all of the
platforms (or lower the track) to allow level access throughout? No

Thats something I never understood about the tube. Why are the
platforms
all lower that the floors? On curved platforms its understandable since
the train might need to overhang them , but whats the excuse on
straight platforms? Its not just disabled people it would be useful
for,
even like myself when trying to wrestle a large suitcase onto the
train at heathrow it would be nice if I could just wheel it on rather
than having to physically lift it up.
