Sounds like utter ********, which wouldn't be surprising given the general ****poor quality of the Eye's railway reporting. A fiver says it opens with LO branding and the current platform length on November 11. Its been mentioned somewhere a few weeks ago which I can't find at the mo, and it isn't the length, its the width, the yellow line is in the middle of the platform... That's slightly saner - the '18 inches of length' point as reported in the Eye made no sense whatsoever, but I can see that adding 45cm of width to a full-length platform could be an expensive undertaking, and that a narrow platform might actually be dangerous (whereas a short platform can be dealt with by SDO). In which case, somebody involved with the design needs shot. Does Clapham Common meet those standards? I've always thought that must be terrifying during the rush hour. Most definitely not, and most definitely yes - but there's a concept called "grandfather rights" which effectively means that the railways are allowed to do dangerous things they've always done, but not to start doing new dangerous things. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |
