More details
Level boarding makes the railway more accessible to everyone by removing the need for a member of staff to assist disabled passengers who need help with getting on and off the train. Level boarding should also help reduce the dwell time by removing the step up between train and platform. Level Boarding could also help reduce the risk of the platform and train interface.
