The distance between the yellow line and the edge of the platform varies widely between stations. I see that Acton ML's yellow line dates from the days of slam-door trains (as do many stations in London). Strangely, really busy stations like Clapham Junction have no yellow line at all on some platforms.
@RayL as far as I'm aware, the yellow line at least nowadays has to do mostly with preventing people getting knocked off-balance by turbulence from passing trains, more than people getting walloped by doors etc. For this reason, platforms with low enough speed restrictions (as well as many terminus stations) don't have yellow lines at all.
Acton Main Line might be quiet now, with few trains and a pology for a station, but the plan is, as with so many others, to use Liz line & new station as a catalyst to regenerate the area, so now may be a good time to buy in!
Concern locally is that yet another part of Acton will be priced out of reach of the many, while around nearby North Acton station we're getting more high rise student towers.
when the full through-the-tunnel Crossrail service starts up, the purple trains will be longer- clearly they've gone for the minimal effort option of just having the stop board be at the position for the future longer trains.
This city and this country are full of people doing jobs that elsewhere are done by signs. Of course, often the sign is there doing the job alongside the underoccupied person.Oddly the many hand-wringing discussions about low UK productivity never seem to mention this phenomenon, which seems to me like one of the fruits of a generation of economic policy that keeps wages and skills low.
