Clapham Junction features a disused Platform 8, which is avoided for general passenger use due to significant safety issues caused by both a height and width gap between the platform and trains. Though trains do pass through, they do not typically stop here. In December 2016, safety assessments deemed the platform too risky for passenger service. It can only be utilized in exceptional cases, necessitating strict safety protocols to alert staff and passengers about the potential dangers associated with the gap.
...the gap between the platform and the train is too large for it to be used in general passenger service. This concern has heightened safety protocols.
As platforms curve, width gaps create additional hazards, and when combined with height gaps, they significantly increase the risk of accidents.
