I've missed a late train from Charing Cross when it was announced
seconds before stopping that just one set of doors in the (Northern)
carriage wouldn't open, and some people with suitcases, whom I was
stuck behind, couldn't get through the crowd to the open door.
Walking back from Embankment was just too late.


I've had that issue, though I did make it off. But that was because I
hadn't paid attention to whether I was in the last coach.

But relating to that, why are the last set of doors switched out at
Bank? They are on the platform (albeit only just). Or is it a flow
thing?
