Some modern stock seems to be very sensitive WRT edge/obstruction

I've noticed this on the victoria line happening quite a lot. Unfortunately
instead of selectively re-opening the offending door - which they can do - the
trained chimp at the front just keeps repeating over the tannoy to mind the
doors. If the person could have "minded the doors" with their bags or whatever
at that point they would have done. Quite often this goes on for over a minute
until the chimps lonely braincell finally clocks that maybe re-opening the door
might sort the problem. Which is almost always does.
