There are no Platform Edge Doors. The were installed on the JLE due to
the newer fire regulations/air circulation and to ventilate the
tunnels when needed, along with fans.


So why don't these regs apply to T5? As the OP says , the fact they're
not there means all that safety talk about them on the JLE was a load
of ********.


Thats what I'd believed - IIRC other LU insiders have said before that they
are mainly to do with ventilation, and draughtproofing - the safety features
are just a bonus...
