Platform gates have been installed at many Shinkansen stations, especially where there are non-stop trains passing through. Despite this, there was a case in which a man climbed over the gate, jumped onto the track and was killed by a through train. 300 (left) and 700 Series Shinkansen at Tokyo Station Shinkansen 500 Series at Kyoto Station, March 2005 The Shinkansen ) is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan operated by Japan Railways. ...

JR (Zairaisen)

Traditional railway lines of JRs (在来線 Zairaisen) have no platform gate, because there are too many passengers and trains to install platform doors, and/or there are trains with doors whose positions are not unified.

Subways

Platform screen doors or gates are mainly used in driver-only subway lines. In most railway systems of Japan, besides the driver of the train, there is another staff member onboard to open and close the doors, but on driver-only trains automatic train operation (ATO) is in place. As ATO is relatively new, most subway lines with PSDs are new lines like the Tokyo Metro Nanboku Line and Kyoto Metro Tozai Line, or old lines that have been upgraded, like Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line and Toei Mita Line.

Platform edge doors at Westminster tube station

Platform edge doors are installed on all platforms of the sub-surface stations of the Jubilee Line Extension. Platform Edge Doors (PEDs) were installed on the new platforms for a number of reasons, but the primary justification was that of passenger comfort. The specification for the upgraded Jubilee Line included a maximum air-speed in passenger areas, and to achieve this on the platforms would have meant either substantial civil works to increase tunnel diameter at the platform - tunnel interface, or including Platform Edge Doors. The PEDs do not reach the platform ceiling, but stop slightly short. This allows ventilation of the platform by the air forced ahead of each train, but the screen prevents uncomfortably high air-speeds.

The Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) was the first heavy rail system in the world to incorporate platform screen doors in its stations in 1987 (as according to Westinghouse Platform Screen Doors). Platform screen doors are installed at all underground MRT stations in Singapore, and are manufactured by Westinghouse Platform Screen Doors, a member of the Knorr-Bremse Group.

There are two series of the platform screen doors in use. The first series was installed in all operating underground stations along the North South Line and the East West Line from 1987 to the completion of the initial system in 1990. The second series of platform screen doors sporting a sleeker design and incorporating more glass were installed in the Changi Airport MRT Station which opened in 2002. All stations in the fully-underground North East Line, which opened in 2003, also sport these new doors.

Considered a novelty at the time of its installation, it was introduced primarily to minimise hefty air-conditioning costs, especially since elevated stations are not air-conditioned, and hence are much more economical to run in comparison. Since then the safety aspects of these doors have become more important, as highlighted by a series of high profile incidents where individuals were injured or killed by oncoming trains since the year 2002, all occurring on elevated stations where no screen doors exist. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) reports that there have been more than 220 cases of commuters trespassing on the tracks between 1991 and 15 September 2004, of which 87% were deliberate acts of trespass. Nine fatalities were recorded during this period, of which only one was an accident. Since September 2004 there have been four fatalities occurring on elevated MRT and LRT stations.

As a result of these incidents, there have been public requests for the installation of various forms of physical barriers, which the LTA put on hold due to questions as to their functionality and the high installation costs. There have been no plans thus far to consider installing platform screen doors in all elevated stations, an endeavour which may require entire stations to be air conditioned, although this option may not be completely ruled out in the future.

Light Rapid Transit (LRT)

Platform screen doors have also been installed at the Ten Mile Junction Station of the Bukit Panjang LRT since its construction. Being integrated with a commercial development, the station is air-conditioned, and platform screen doors therefore had to be installed.
