Blimey!

I guess the Passenger Service Agent (PSA) leant in and hit the doors
close button whilst still standing on the platform. That's quite a
muck up to make though, and actually sounds like quite a difficult
thing to achieve!

Whilst most unlikely, if there had been a problem on the track
somewhere before the next station, or some other kind of problem, then
the lack of a PSA could have led to a bigger issue than just a delay.

That said, automatically driven unstaffed metro do exist elsewhere
without problems (something I learnt only recently from other utl
posters, proving again how little I know!).

Wonder if any of the Central line drivers might like to try doing
this?!

P.S. I've just followed The Register's link to the Londonist blog,
