Just a thought Whilst up London on Friday for pleasure (rather than work, although still can't stand the place either way!) I was waiting on the underground with my partner (who was looking out for Rats!!) when I was wondering how the Railways get round the Working at Height issue of train platforms, where there is such a high potential for death or very serious injury should you fall onto a live track or in front of a train, from a height with members of the public and employees at risk (place of work) and no edge protection other than a yellow line. Also considering how many people are on the platform during rush hour, pushing and shoving etc. Just a musing if anyone has any thoughts or knows why they maybe exempt from the regs? (more of a Friday thought than Monday I know!)

Hi Mr Flibble, Same as everywhere else, Risk Assessment, Training for staff, notices & announcements for the public and I suppose the overwhelming desire of the public not to want to fall under a train ;)

Plus SFAIRP, no else has come up with a more practical design, except for the extension of the Jubilee line which has platform automated doors. The railways were born when 'elf and safety was embryonic...those were the days.
