Abstract

This study reviews the work that has been carried out to date on the effects of train slipstreams, which begins as the head of the train passes and continues until after the tail of the train passed, on people and their belongings on station platforms. Recorded incidents in UK involving station users and their property on station platforms caused by train slipstreams are reviewed. Methods used by other railway administrations to manage the risk from slipstream effects on station platforms are described. Recommendations to improve the platform design of the risk are made. The extent to which design guides for assessing the risk can be developed is considered.
