Has anyone noticed that at many Scotrail stations, instead of traditional textured 'tactile' stones near the platform edges, the yellow line itself is studded.
It doubles up as both the yellow line and the textured surface to act as a warning that you are getting close to the edge.
On the face of it, looks a great method of providing the textured warning surface without having to dig up platforms and lay stones/tilles.
Why isn't this used in England and Wales too? Are there any downsides?
Presumably there's the benefit of no tiles lifting up in hot or cold weather, as the textured surface is just the line itself.
Looks smart too.
