Photo - 1967 Tube Stock Step at Victoria
1967 Tube Stock step at Victoria. The step
plate of the doorways on the Underground was originally designed to cover the gap between
the train and the platform. Of course, this creates a step. You can't win them
all.
A certain amount of space is necessary to allow
the train to run in and run out of the platform without striking it. Introducing a
level step between platform and train will re-introduce a gap which wasn't there
before. It's just swapping one gap for another at huge expense. What a
waste.
