I read apparently that Southern had been having problems with its train

doors
not opening on stations north of the Thames because these hadn't been
programmed into the database that uses GPS to know where it is!


Perhaps not just north of the river.

A friend recently had a very delayed journey from E. Croydon to Three
Bridges because the doors wouldn't open easily at any of the stations the
train stopped at.

Maybe just an individual glitch, but maybe not.
