Stadler trains cope well with curved platforms; you can see it at Greater Anglia. As long as trains don't meet the standard platform height, there is no way to fix the system, even long-term, and bring the platforms to standard height. You can see the curved platform and level boarding here: youtu.be/P-ClLzHgWK8?si…

DfT Operator wants innovators to put their minds to improving accessibility for rail passengers, saying that “Traditional ramps between platforms and trains are heavy, slow to deploy, and take up valuable space”. Perhaps DfTO should procure level boarding trains?

New stock without level boarding, Claimed they couldn't build to level boarding spec because of the variety of platform heights in the UK. But they could, and failure to do so locks out level boarding for decades, even if platforms altered. @GarethDennis

In terms of accessibility the @unsereOEBB CityJet trains are excellent with level boarding wheelchair, 4 spaces, and pram space with an accessible toilet. The guard on the train is quite proud of his charge 👍 #allthelineseurope @Interrail
