New Jubilee Line platform at Westminster.  All the new tunnel stations on the Jubilee Line extension are provided with platform edge doors, as shown here, principally to prevent suicides and accidents, currently running at over 100 per year.  In other cities where they are provided, platform edge doors are useful for climate control.
