Benefits
The platform screen doors at all 5 stations are aligned with the doors of the train and open and close automatically. They:
- make it faster to board trains
- stop items falling onto the tracks
- help control the climate in the station
- improve tunnel ventilation.
Using the doors
There are entry markings on the floor to make it easy for you to know where to wait for your train.
- You do not need to press a button to open the platform screen doors in the station, they will open and close automatically.
- You also do not need to press a button to open train doors when getting off in Metro Tunnel stations.
- Flashing lights and sounds will indicate when the doors are opening and closing.
- Please wait for doors to be fully opened and any passengers onboard to get off the train before you get on.
- When travelling with children, always hold their hand when boarding to avoid being separated.
- While the doors are closing do not attempt to get on board the train or to hold the doors open.
- When the Metro Tunnel opens, not all platform screen doors will be in use, indicated by a red light over the door. Continue down the platform to the next available door.
