Platforms do ahve to slope away from the rails....on new build. Legacy installations, well, thats a different story! (and would we really want to spend billions changing all the legacy platforms?)
Yeah I was thinking new builds must have to be sloped.
Yes it would take billions to fix older stations but what price to you put on saving lives?
You would think there could be a cheaper alternative like fixing some kind of stopper on the edge of the platform but I suppose you would get people tripping and putting claims in! :-/
This is one of my annoyances with 'nanny state' mentality that is slowly filtering down into society.
I don't think we should be spending lots of public money to overcome stupid people's incompitence. Trouble is now, certain parts of society have to blame somebody else for their lack of judgement/awareness, rather than accept blame and consequences of their own actions.
