Safety on Platforms

• Stand back from the edge of the platform.
• Hold children's hands or make sure they stay next to you on the platform.
• Do not lean over the platform edge to see if a train is coming, because trains can approach from either direction.
• Wait for the train to stop before stepping forward.
• Keep off the tracks. They contain more than 600 volts of electricity. NEVER go down onto the tracks, for any reason. If you drop something, tell a police officer, or train or station personnel. Or use a station "Customer Assistance Intercom."
• Walk - don't run on platforms.
• Be aware of your surroundings. See someone at risk? Alert a police officer, or train or station personnel. Or use a station "Customer Assistance Intercom."
