Luke 'Tubemapper' shared an artistic photo of the platforms at Clapham Common and someone replied asking the width of the platform. Does anyone know? btw: look, two passengers! |

if behind the yellow line my speculation is that it is around 2-3m wide...

Using a very technical method here, but the 1995 stock is 2.63m wide. Now, we don't know if this is the body of whether any of the below gear sticks out. Drawing a line across the front of the tube on point and then moving it on the platform takes it from the white line to just over the yellow line on the opposite side. So you'll probably find that the platform is about 2m80 wide.

Not wide enough would be my answer! I remember the old Angel platform, and how crowded it used to get in the days when the Northern line service was, shall we say, not up to standard.

And, of course, Euston single platform when City trains would reverse there to reduce pressure on the Camden crossings!

To answer the question originally posed by spsmiler, there isn't a lot of verifiable information available online, but consensus seems to be around 12 feet or a rather alarming 3.7 meters. That is alarming. Even a gas meter is only about 30cm (a foot) in it's largest dimension. |
