This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Put barriers on all central London underground platforms
Standing on a crowded platform can be frightening due to the possibility of falling on the tracks. Furthermore, there are incidents of people taking their own life throwing themselves in front of the trains.
Accidentally or voluntarily, the platform can be very dangerous.
