Discussing St Albans platforms on another thread, do we, the train enthusiasts, think that platform doors are a good idea?
Personally, I don't think that the full Jubilee/crossrail solution is required, maybe just some rising railings?
I raise this due to discussions about St Albans fast platforms, but also having stood on platform 3 at rugby when a double voyager flies past.
High speeds through platforms are downright dangerous, are there any other options?
Railings stay up until the train "has reached a complete stop", not a half stop obviously, then they drop when the driver presses the buttons to open the doors. This could also help load and unload the train more efficiently.
thoughts please
