Default Automatic tubes?

could see, on platforms. Even at the terminus, if you fail to alight,
they take you into the reversing siding for a few minutes before
starting the return journey.


The HSE would be wetting their nappies over that if it happened here.
Don't forget on the tube we have to have the farce of a driver walking
down the train checking its empty and closing each carriage one by one
before he takes it out of service. Just in case someone should be
transported into dangerous territory known as a siding! Yes I know some
idiot a few years back fell between cars on a central line train after
he got taken into a siding and tried to get out while it was moving but
then
a number of people die each year falling out of windows. Perhaps we
should have a law that says all windows should be sealed too.
