Are they, or have they ever been, at compromise height owing to the mainline service using the middle platform?

I doubt it. It would be easier to simply lower the track in the central bay and raise it for the through roads.

I saw a photo recently of an A Stock train on test on the Central Line c.1962 passing through the westbound platform at Greenford. There was certainly then no compromise height on the Central, as the floor level of the A Stock was much higher than the platform. Although obviously in gauge, the roof of the A Stock was quite close to the canopy!
I would agree with TheOneKEA in that that the bay platform track would be slightly lower than those of the Central.
Still at Greenford, can anyone explain why the FGW trains in the bay only open their doors on the 'eastbound' side and not both?

Something to do with DOO I believe.. when the driver changes ends he is sitting on the side of the platform adjacent to central line EB, that is why doors are opened on that platform only (there are no mirrors or monitors or in-cab equipment provided) |

The motormen probably were wishing for a shorter route between Neasden depot and Ruislip depot in those days. |
