Er, you can have people clean the train, _even while people on are on the platform_. This is common on Japanese trains (on local trains it's usually possible for passengers to board even then, but on the shinkansen and other express trains, you have to wait until they're done cleaning). Having a mandatory non-platform waiting area for that reason would be downright silly. [Well, it's the U.S., I suppose despite the extensive research and planning, they'll manage to screw things up _somehow_.] -Miles -- Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced.
