6 people died from being struck by trains in a year (I think that was 2015 they pushed in their advertisements). There were about 1.76 billion rides in the same period.
As much as it's a feel-good measure, there is no conceivable way to justify the incredible expense of platform doors for such a small number of instances.
And the dirty secret is most of those are suicides. If they can't kill themselves on a train, they'll just go to the nearest bridge.
