Technology for its own sake?

"Peter Masson" wrote in message ... "John Rowland" wrote in message ... The obvious solution seems to be individual doors which check that there is a platform adjacent before opening. Something along the lines of a transponder at the start of each platform which is detected by each door and enables the doors on the appropriate side, and another one at the end of each platform which disables each door. Some complications for platforms on reversible lines Ware springs to mind, and most termini. That sounds high-tech enough to break down a lot, and requires fitting of kit at stations, which are the most easily vandalised part of the railway. I was thinking of a projecting metal arm under each train door which prods the platform. Is it too easy to simply extend the platform? |
