Does anyone know why the new Siemens 7** classes curve inwards towards the

where it was done to fit in the platforms when they dropped the floor height)
there's a socking great step protruding out probably 6 inches from the bottom
of the door.

This seems a strange design decision to me.

Perhaps the design is intended to PREVENT people standing too close to
the doors when the train is packed.
