Listened to latest podcast ep from @notjustbikes and today this is in the headlines

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/elizabeth-line-ealing-broadway-bbc-transport-for-london-b1163562.html

"Two travellers have complained they have suffered serious injuries trying to step off the train at Ealing Broadway"

Another (unfortunate) data point for Level Boarding on railways. https://www.levelboarding.org.uk/

@dsc @notjustbikes Hilariously the problem is because of them doing level boarding at Heathrow and in the core on the cheap, those platforms and therefore the trains are 1100mm tall rather than the standard 915mm. Ealing Broadway and the stations West of it can't have their platforms raised to that height because of passing freight.

@mark Yes, that is part of what the podcast he's referring to was about!
