No more than a very slight curve in the platforms themselves. The curves are in the tunnels outside the station. |

You are forbidden from Usenet for one month ;-) |

Plus, it's a given that HSE would probably have conniptions if they saw a curved platform. So, even if it is legally possible to build a curved platform, it would not surprise me if the engineers and designers decided simply to build it straight in order to avoid any "complications." |

They obviously don't have to be ruler straight, but I assume there are rules for what (large) radius is allowed. You certainly wouldn't be allowed to build anything like the Central Line Bank platforms today. |

I don't think the rules have changed since Canada Water East London Line platforms were built, and IIRC that is on a fair slope, so the rules can be broken if TPTB feel like it. |
