A hinged personnel support platform assembly for a rail vehicle maintenance pit 3 comprises a platform 20 having a hinge 41 for pivotally mounting the platform to the wall of a vehicle maintenance pit. A support arrangement is provided that includes support legs 51 extending from the platform that engages with the floor 7 of the pit when the platform is raised. The platform is configurable between a stowed position and a raised support position. The hinged platform assembly is configured to the stowed position by pivoting the support legs upwardly towards the platform and pivoting the platform downwardly towards the wall of the vehicle maintenance pit. The hinged platform is configured to the support position by pivoting the support legs downwardly away from the platform, and pivoting the platform upwardly to a raised position away from the wall of the vehicle maintenance pit. The platform may comprise a platform actuator, 47, which mounts to the wall of the maintenance pit and drives the platform between the stowed position and support position.
