Is This A Handrail?
At Limehouse station on the DLR, I noticed these rails surrounding the platforms.
Is This A Handrail?
I was unsure as to their purpose. Especially, as there is a similar rail at floor level.
Are they there to just to protect the window, for decoration or are they a handrail that people can hang on to as the trains approach? I did hold it today, as the train came in, but then I have form in this area, as I reported here.
The Anonymous Widower 
Could they be intended as aids to help blind and partially-sighted people get their bearings when on the station platform?
Just a thought…

That doesn’t explain the rail at foot level.
