Additional ramps at Blackfriars

[spinba11]

Anyone know what the left and right ramps are for (the middle is for wheelchair users), they are on on platforms 1 and 2 at Blackfriars and at no other core stations.

Possibly for Southeastern stock? It's not a fantastic picture so can't quite see what you're referring to.

Wheelchairs as well, I expect. There are different ramp designs to fit different doorways on different rolling stock.

A standardised door step and ramp locating pin arrangement? Crikey people will be wanting standard MU couplings next…

But in all seriousness, they‘ll be positioned on all platforms SE stock can theoretically use, not just where they’re booked.

That is, of course, a whole separate discussion!

The smaller one is for the 700s. They're at all the core stations and are for when there is too much of a gap even with the humps that passengers aren't comfortable. Had to use them a few times at STP
