Plastic Platforms At East Croydon Station

Platforms 1 and 2 at East Croydon station now have glass reinforced plastic surfaces.

They look good and feature.

• Shorter stepping distance into and out of trains.
• Underfloor heating to prevent ice and snow build up.
• Blue LED edge lighting.
• The lights are blue, so they can’t be confused for signals by the drivers.
• The lighting is designed to deter suicides.

The keen-eyed will notice that the lights aren’t switched on. Apparently, some have failed!
