Isolated Platform in Tokyu Kuhonbutsu Station
Platform in Kuhonbutsu station of Tokyu Oimachi Line has railroad crossings at both ends. So it cannot be extended anymore. Currently train has five cars, and doors on fifth car are closed in this station.
However, there is an isolated platform on the side of the fifth car. It has a monitor, and there is no way out. At first, I did not understand why this platform was built.
The answer should be that the conductor requires the platform. Before operating the door switch, he or she must go out of the train to check there is no problem. The monitor is used to confirm the safe conditions.
