Can't see how they'd do it. Theres little enough room under the floors
for
the equipment as it is. Also , what happens at stations where the
platform
is already at the level of or higher than the trains floor such as the
new
section of the jubilee line , the bakerloo north of queens park, some
on the
piccadily etc..?
