If you're erecting basic, prefabricated aliminium towers, then yes.

In this age of health safety, how is it acceptable for commuters to be cramed on to a station with a live electric rail just feet away and trains speeding through. Building sites must be by far the safest place be.

Jubilee Line has those glass sliding doors. Maybe they should introduce them on all the lines?

Jubilee Line has those glass sliding doors. Maybe they should introduce them on all the lines?

They were designed primarily to reduce the movement of air caused by emergency ventilation fans which activate in event of a fire, or under test conditions. The sencondary purpose were was a barrier to prevent people falling or jumping onto the tracks.

These were installed when the Jubilee Line extention was complete, around 10 years ago.

Crossrail will also have platform screen doors when it's completed later this decade.

Thanks Phil181. I knew there was more to it than just to stop jumpers and drunks.
