2. After taking a classical ballet class near a suburban station with LL platforms, the dancer tried to catch a train. “As the train pulled out of the station, [she] broke into a sprint, run- ning the opposite direction of the train, and then she tried to leap on board. ‘No, No, No! Don’t do that!’ the conductor yelled. But it was too late. [She] slipped and fell between the train and platform, [railroad] officials said. “Her foot was severed in half.” (Latty 2001).
These results lead to the question: How can secure entrance- ways be provided on systems that currently have mixed platforms—a combination of HL and LL platforms?
