Default EU lending for Crossrail

opened outside a station, someone could fall out and break their neck.
I find it hard to believe that safety authorities anywhere would
accept that.

Someone could fall out of a normal train's doors and break their neck
- it's well over a metre, and an uncontrolled fall from that height
could do plenty of damage.

Someone could also fall off a station platform as-is, but this seems
not to happen with any frequency.
