Photo - A Stock Step up at Ruislip
A Stock step at Ruislip (Metropolitan
Line). This step is at the same station as shown in here for 1973 Tube Stock but the step
is up from the platform to the train because this is surface stock. The platform is lower
than the floor of a surface stock train because the platform has to accommodate both tube
and surface stock trains. The platform
height is at a compromise level half way between the two floor levels. The
difference between the two is about 30 cms or 1 foot. This gives a 6 inch step up or
down.
