The Platforms have additional barriers and signs.

i found a picture:
The high speed trains runs directly through the station;
the waiting passengers (waiting for other commuter trains) are call attention by recorded messages;
the gap between the train and the platform is maybe 20 - 25 cm

I dont think he even whistled.Well, why whistle?
