Rather than prescribing solutions, we instead look to the market for creative, resourceful and novel approaches to problem solving to create new value for TfL by doing things better, quicker or cheaper. This will seek feedback on potential solutions to reduce the risk of falls, accidents on the track and falls or accidents between the platform and train, as well as how we might reduce potential consequences of such incidents in the event they do occur. How might TfL: Eliminate or reduce the risk of falls on the track and falls between the train and the platform? Eliminate or reduce of incidents caused by objects or people getting trapped in the doors? Reduce the potential consequences of such incidents if they do occur?
