Whereas the railings on the rail side of the ramp have an open design simililar to the earlier stops, the railings on the road side have black metal grille inserts. Also a platform height kerb extends from the platform on the outside of the railing to the pedestrian crossing.


Hopefully the design would stop a runaway car. We know from the
Flinders Street car attack in December 2018 that the bollards placed
around Melbourne tram platform stops do.
