Default Number of tracks on the T5 extension?

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 ********.

The "official" explanation for the PEDs being installed on the JLE has
always been that they're for ventilation purposes. The enhanced safety
is an added bonus.

Primary reason being that if the HSE thought that safety was their
primary purpose, they'd make LU install them at all the other deep level
stations, which'd cost a fortune...Doubly so when/if the stock is
replaced if the doors don't line up with the PEDs.
