These standard heights are 550 and 760 mm (21.7 and 29.9 in). As the map indicates, there are several areas where 550 mm and 760 mm platform heights overlap and many trains serve stations with platforms of both heights posing challenges for step-free access. Where trains optimized for 760 mm platforms have to serve 550 mm platforms (or vice ...
There is currently no uniform standard for loading gauges in the country and both loading gauges and platform heights vary by rail line. The North–South Commuter Railway allows passenger trains with a carbody width of 3,100 mm (10 ft 2 in) and a height of 4,300 mm (14 ft 1 in).
Platform height across the UK rail network is not standardised because, at the time of the construction of the network, different railway companies settled on different platform heights. [1] Platforms sited low (compared to the level of the train carriage floor) present entry and exit problems to mobility-impaired passengers, including ...
