Platform edge doors (from [Tubeprune])
The Jubilee Line extension was one of London's biggest engineering projects to date and cost over 3.5 billion, making it one of the most expensive projects in the world at over 4 million per metre of its 16km length.
\nOne of the unusual features of the extension is that all the new stations have platform edge doors which prevent wind from the piston effect of trains blowing through the station.
