I 1989, I visited the SNCF railway works at Hellemmes (Lille), in France. An SNCF driver took me to the Lille Metro station at Hellemmes, where I caught an underground train back to the main station at Lille - the platforms were seperated from the track by a (glass?) partition, and as you've observed on the Jubilee line, the trains stopped in exactly the right place for the partition doors to be used. I was very impressed with this, and that was over 20 years ago! One drawback - you can't get the train/carriage numbers from the platform!
