Sounds like that drivers job is toast. Cue another strike threat by the
RMT.

They were a nightmare when they were first put into service. Presumably
Bombardier thought they could save money buy getting the general public
to do the testing for them. They've got the sorted now it seems.

Sounds like the set up for sensitive edge activation didn't allow for the
situation when it had to be overridden at one station and the platform was
the other side at the next station. Plus inadequate training of drivers.
Plus, perhaps, a driver trying tom do his best when the equipment didn't
work correctly and he was unwilling to fail the train, or delay it for an
unspecified time while he tried to get technical advice. If LUL modify the
trains and/or give the drivers additional training all well and good. If LUL
try to scapegoat this driver Bro. Crow would, IMHO, be entirely justified in
blowing the whistle.
