London - Tube Suicide Prevention

Aparently, St Petersburg is not the only city with subway suicide prevention.
Or is it to prevent flooding, or to prevent people from being pushed onto the rails, or... Does anyone know why?

The doors were built because it would save millions of pounds by not having to put air wind excluders in the tunnels. The doors are there for better air quality thats why they built them.

@tag1989 Not not all stations most of them are still how they were orgianlly

They should have them at London Bridge so that selfish, suicidal pricks don't hold up the line and make us all late for work.

these are actually to prevent fires spreading like in the tragic kings cross fire. The fire travelled through the tunnel and soon as it got to the platform it was like a vacuum, the fire immediately went up the escalators engulfing everything and everyone in it's way

The only stations with these doors are the central jubilee line stations. They were built as " bomb proof" doors as these are the stations nearest to the important buildings

[TheLogicalKey]

It's only the jubilee line which has those as far as I know.

is not to stop people from being pushed onto the rails, if that was the problem they'd have built some metal barriers not expensive glass walls, I reckon that the top comment is the most appropriate

[Jeezzper]

Like in Copenhagen :)
