But all the platforms north of Harrow are still at compromise height,
with a step down from the 313s. Any provision for disabled passengers
could be taken into account by having a raised section in the northern
end of the platforms where the LO services stop and a lowered section
at the southern end, where only the Bakerloo line trains would have
doors; these short sections would have to be in the same spot at each
station and could line up with the areas of the trains with wheelchair
spaces etc.

Such raised sections have already started to appear on the Victoria
line, as part of the upgrade. It's quite unusual not having to step
down from the train.

Not only the Victoria line, they're appearing at other stations on the
LU network as well - the Northern line at London Bridge sticks in my
mind, but there are other places too.

Presumbably the raised lumps are mostly likely to appear at stations
served by the JLE, since those would have been made accessible
anyway. *Anywhere else, there would be little chance of reaching the
platform in the first place.


No, because the JLE stations already have the train floor level with
the platforms, so there is no step up or down into the train. The
raised areas will be needed on the original Jubilee line though.

On the Bakerloo thing, the platforms are at compromise height which
according to my impression is slightly less of a step up from the
Bakerloo than a step down from a 313. *Has anyone got measurements to
confirm this?

I think it depends on the station and any cant at the location.

On the Rayners Lane to Uxbridge line, which also has compromise
platform heights, and used to only have a limited Piccadilly service,
it is my impression that the gap is larger stepping up from a
Piccadilly line train than down from a Met line train.
