Probably a combination of dumb commuters and stupid helath and safety rules
that LU seems to use now - train can't be given all clear to leave until
the platform guy says so and he won't do it unless everyone is behind the
yellow line. Similarly a lot of drivers just keep sounding the door bleeps
to make sure everyone is inside but that doesn't work if people have headphones
on and are oblivious to anything short of a nuclear war.

When I twer' lad, the trains didn't have door bleep and the drivers just used
to shut the doors and if your head got thumped then tough. He'd re-open them
and close them quick enough so it got thumped again if you were really thick.
