Buses are equipped with "Emergency Exit" windows, but they are "opened" by using a special "hammer" to break the glass. Their specific labelling indicates the presence of a hammer close by inside, and the provision of footholes on the exterior. Rescue vehicles carry similar hammers for exterior application. Back in the early 1990s, buses here were required to have an offside exit door (common in Europe many years before) but this only lasted a couple of years. I don't think this is required on trains.

Brian,
Good point about the window glass, at least some of which would be designed to be able to be pushed out (and also in) to allow for escape/rescue in an accident, I presume.

I was a bit worried about all the people pushing on the windows though. Could have been disastrous if the glass had given way?
I was in New York a few years ago and I recall a station on very tight curve. There were extendable mechanical fillers used to bridge the considerable gaps. I can't remember whether they were under the carriage floor, or under the platform copings. Would something like this work here?
