I'm not sure a safety feature that led to even more crush loading in a station would be signed off. In case you hadn't noticed all the JLE stations have huge platform areas. Platform doors on the Underground are part of the environmental control of more recent tube sections; increased safety is a secondary Rubbish. Rubbish yourself. "one of the main reasons (and justifications) for having PEDs is for ventilation although of course they do have the obvious benefit of preventing people from falling onto the track." https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/reque...m_screen_doors No idea what that site is , but clearly neither them nor you have ever been on the tube. The piston effect of the train pulling and pushing air through the tunnel provides plenty of ventilation into the station. In fact the doors actually prevent a lot of that leaving some station platforms uncomfortable on hot days IME when I worked at Canary Wharf particularly London Bridge. |
