They have already done it the southern ends of the Met platforms have
all been built up by approx a foot, so I assume that they will be
level with the new train doors. At Pinner the whole platform with the
exception of the last 30 foot of the southern end has had tactile
stripes fitted so I assume they will be raising this part of the
platform as well.

What I did find surprising is that they did not put in lifts at
Finchley road, I would have thought they could have extended the
ticket office over the platforms and drop in two lifts as they did at
Earls Court, especially as there is no steps into the station and it
does act a reasonable size interchange with busses and coaches.
