You can also see how the Eurostar platforms are a couple of metres
higher than the old ones, and I think this will remain the case.
Indeed, they may even be raised a bit more, to British rather than
European platform height, to facilitate step-free boarding.

Is there really a British Standard for platform height?
I'm pretty sure I've never met two alike.

Yes:

"For new platforms and alterations (as defined) to existing platforms, the
height at the edge of the platform shall be 915 mm (within a tolerance of
+0 mm, -25 mm)."
