Platforms
Low level platforms are not a problem with dual gauge trains, since carriages are always higher than the platforms. With third rails and high level platform, one gauge may be too close or too far away, depending on which side the third rail is. In Western Australia, between Midland and Perth Terminal Terminal, the problem does not in practice arise, because the standard gauge trains do not stop at the intermediate stations.
