Do you think that they know?

Certainly. They can see/hear the train coming in on the opposite platform
and know dozens of people will want to change. So they pull off just in
time to make us wait for the next one!


I have seen that happen at Finchley Road with a Metropolitan Line train. The
train was in the station and the holding light indicated that a Jubilee Line
train was approaching.

Just as the latter stopped and opened its doors, the Metropolitan Line train
closed its doors.

Aren't drivers required to hold in the station as long as the holding light
is lit?

I also wonder how many holding lights there are on LUL -- the only two that
I have seen are at the westbound platform at Mile End and the westbound
platform at Finchely Road.

Are there any others?
