Default Doors open on both sides (was: J sign at the end of Finchley...)

I'm not sure. They certainly open both sets of doors on the eastbound
District line platform at Barking.


Lawrence Myers:
Yes. That's to allow cross platform interchange to and from both the
Gospel Oak Line, on the left, and Shoeburyness trains on the right.


So do people then cross through the District trains to get between the
Gospel Oak and Shoeburyness lines, too, like at Jamaica station on the
LIRR in New York? Or are their routings such that there would be no
reason to do that anyway?


what kind of neighborhood is barking and is it convient to cental london?
