Abstract
This invention relates to a railway vehicle car of the type including a floor including at least one movable platform and a standard platform, the movable platform being located opposite a door in the railway vehicle, the movable platform being capable of moving linearly vertically so that the height of the movable platform can be varied to match the height of the said platform to the height of a station platform, at least one first running board which can move linearly vertically and in a transverse direction being provided to fill the gap between the movable platform and the station platform when the said running board is in a deployed position. The movable platform and the running board can move independently of each other.
