the tube needs this so badly because the station bank for the northern line got so much sharp curves, in fact its so curved that they even gotta spam a announcement that says "Mind the gap,"
Sam Sitar when a train stops, the gap filler extension signal detects the train. Only then it extends the after that gives the signal to the operator/train controller to open its doors. when it’s moving back to the tunnel, the gap fillers retract back to its original position. It can’t retract after the train leaves though.
On virtually all lines that were built later, station platforms were straight, or if there was a curve, it was so gradual that gap fillers weren't needed.
When that station opened in 1904, the cars were shorter, the trains were shorter and only had vestibule doors for entry and exit. The whole thing was VERY different.
have you ever put a straight object next to a rounded edge? if so you would know why there are huge gaps. also some trains stop at different points of the station because no train driver is perfect, so having platforms aligned with exits of the train would be a bad idea.

Clever, but increases dwell time - surely should be interlocked with signals so retracts before train starts - it seems to rub on the extensions!
Richard Landen ,It already does
Richard Landen it doesn't rub on the extension, it depends on the position of the train.

how does it work?

Who misses the R142A 6? 😢
I do it was in the taking of Pelham
One better: Who misses the redbirds?
Been there since the station opened in 1904. Probably were manually controlled back then. Don't know how they're operated now.
Cats01 They are operated by weights on the track. That's why the train leaves slowly
You are correct, they were operated manually when they were first installed. Not sure when they were upgraded.
excellent video.
Fishplate ,chucker plate or coragulated slide plate may eliminate droping & stucking of smaller objects like pen,chains, shoelaces etc.

Прикольно) пожалуй это уникальная фишка)
Im ur 100 liker And also rip R142A I'm so happy im the 100 Liker
Oh my goodness

Reminds me of South ferry loop
@@St4rBoyRailfanning bro thats what he sad
How about slotted slide replaced by flat sheet???
Why don't they build the platform to be aligned with exits of the train. Why was there a huge gap in the first place?
Eccentric because the platform is on a curve so the train can’t be aligned as it turns making the huge gap

@@cats0182 The cars were the same length, but the doors were at each end (center doors were added later).

lol fake
how
@@yourlocalcemetery i've literally been to union square, i live in Manhattan, and it's not there
then how the hell was it in the video, it would take far too much work just to photoshop the platform extenders
Edit: *Premiere Pro*
Beaned Cans first of all mate it’s called premiere pro and second of all no it’s not I can even do it
well, guess I'll leave
