Talk:Platform screen doors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is at least one station in Barcelona that has platform screen doors as well, but oddly enough these screen doors only stretch along half of the station, therefore rendering them useless. --Abdull 11:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lists

I am beginning to wonder if a long list of airport people-mover systems with platform edge doors (which is, well, just about all the airport people-movers I've seen) is terribly worthwhile in the context of this article - they don't say that much that's new. --Mike 23:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Re Japan: Platform screen doors have been used on all the Automated elevated LRT systems since the Portliner opened in Kobe in 1981. the Osaka new tram (not a tram but an automated elevated LRT),the Rokko liner (in Kobe again) and the Yurikamome in Tokyo, are the best known examples.

[edit] PSD or PED?

In the first pic of Paris' metro, the caption says that it is a Platform Screen Door. But according to the first paragraph, it should be considered a Platform Edge Door since the door does not reach full height towards the ceiling. Just to clarify... Herenthere 04:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I have added Singapore under the list. Singapore has platform screen doors in the underground stations. Does that qualify to be in the list? Please remove where necessary.

[edit] Cleanup

I feel that the lists that appear in the article should be removed and replaced with more reader-friendly sentences. Stephenchou0722 03:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Agree, it is now completely senseless to list all the system which has applied the PSD. I'm not a native English speaker, so here are my suggestion to rewrite the article: Horizontal Lift of Saint-Petersburg Metro should be mentioned first in the History part. And then refering to VAL#Other uses of platform screen doors. Finally only selecting few representative examples in the list like the MTR, installing PSD during operation; Paris Metro, the unique vault-supporting design. -- Sameboat - 同舟 16:46, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List

The directory of who-has-what was unverified, permanently incomplete and failed WP:NOT. I've left up the Singapore example. By all means find sources which detail notable events or incidents involving screen doors (such as the claim a guy jumped over and died in Japan) and include them.

[edit] Atlanta airport

I know that the Atlanta airport has a short subway system that employs platform screen doors. Would this be appropriate to include here? That's the only example of PSDs I can think of in the United States, but the article makes it sound like none exist at all. 68.216.95.39 (talk) 16:51, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Sounds great! But you would need to try and find at least one reference about it, and even better with a picture (in Wikipedia of course)! -Herenthere (Talk) 22:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
The majority -- perhaps all -- of the nearly twenty automated airport people movers (which are arguably distinct from "subway systems") in the U.S. have some form of platform screen door. You can find a list of these systems at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airport_people_mover_systems -- we can include these as a distinct subsection of the article, if necessary, but it is inadvisable to include separate line-items for the SeaTac or Atlanta systems, especially if they are inaccurately described as "unique."
