Does any forumer happen to know the answer to this old conundrum. Trains be high but platforms be low. this is no way to go! Why is it like this in Bulgaria?

So that people can have a moan about something.

Could also ask why are they no bridges or underpasses - reference village stations. Track walking, how exciting.

Maybe ask Lada, did they not build the trains?

To stop the goats and donkeys from accidentally wandering onto the trains

I have had a really difficult time when travelling to Istanbul by train - getting off I have to fling myself into Mr K's arms and then getting back on need a hefty push up from the rear. Awkward and embarassing...

So you dont bang your head on the platform roof, and also if they were too high. Someone would ask why are Bulgarian Platforms soo high.

I guess you could ask the same question about most train station platforms around the world.

Vertically challenged, Banjo. There aren't any left anyway, as they didn't mind the gap.
