Looks like the Eastbound is.

Here's a reminder of what *really* curved platforms look like:

For anyone unfamiliar with the location, it's the Baker Street
Metropolitan Line through platforms, 1 and 2, looking south. The sharp
curve is because the line joins what is now the Circle line just
beyond the platform end.
Needless to say, this is one place where the 'Mind the Gap' notices
are really needed. The new trains have a floor almost level with the
platform, rather than overhanging it, so the gaps are indeed large
with sharply curved platforms like these.
