That is tube drivers on the northern line having their cab driver side doors
open while in the TUNNEL.

If a diver wants to risk his life that is his business, but as a passenger
the last thing I want is for him to be seriously or fatally injured while we
a travelling at high speed.


The deadman's handle covers this situation, I'd've thought. (Basically
it's a handle or button that must be kept pressed down or the brakes
come on; at least in the traditional design. Modern stock may have
a more cunning arrangment designed to catch other problems).
