SEPTA started out with those little HLPs with an access ramp made of precast concreteOf course, but a mini-high level platform is still a high level platform, not a low platform. It represents a not insignificant investment of capital budget resources to construct a mini-high, and provides none of the station dwell improvements a full high platform provides. And in any event, they're now non-compliant as well, so it's not really worth mentioning them in the first place. The idea was to limit as much machinery that needs to be maintained both on & off the train: Because the bridge plate getting stuck in its holder because the lock has jammed in its months of inactivity is somehow preferable to a piece of equipment on a train which can be brought in, tested, and serviced on a daily basis. |
