Hello,

Hopefully somebody here can shed some light on this. Earlier this evening
I was on a northbound Northern Line train, wanting to get off at Golders
Green as normal. When the train pulled into the platform, there was a very
brief "beep", but the doors didn't open. After a minute or so (the amount
of time the doors would normally be open) the recorded voice saying the
train was leaving came on, and the train pulled away. There was no
announcement, apology or explanation from the driver at all - it was if
they hadn't noticed that none of the doors opened.

I could see up the length of the train, and it was all the carriages that
were affected by this, not just the one I was in. Quite a few annoyed
people got off at Brent Cross and went straight to the other side to wait
for a train back to Golders.

Any ideas why this would happen?

Cheers,
Kev
