But until you do, you can't use the new stock! To accommodate the two
heights at a single platform, the platform level needs to be a
compromise. If it's level with either stock, the other stock would be
unreasonably low or high. Anyway, where does it say that S stock
floors will be at tube stock height? I don't believe that's true.

Neither do I. How would that work on the Metropolitan, where all platforms
are "normal" height and platforms from Harrow northwards are shared with
standard gauge overground stock (Chiltern)? Utter rubbish IMO.

The S stock floor height will be a bit lower than the old surface stock, but
not as low as tube stock.

The S stock floor height will apparently be 950mm above rail height,
compared with the existing surface stock height of 975 or 980mm. Tube stock
is 600 or 610mm above rail height.
