Camden Town and Hammersmith derailments - reports available

The interim report into the Camden Town derailment is available from the
link below (48 pages):

What worries me with the Camden Town accident other than the major part of
the accident was that one of the doors was pulled off the 5th carriage and
the corner ripped away. The doors were ripped off in the central line
accident too. IMO its just sheer good luck that no one was standing near or
leaning on these doors because if they had they'd probably be dead. I genuinely
think that perhaps LUL or their contractors re-evaluate having outside mounted
doors on future trains. Ok maybe they make maintenance a bit easier but is
that worth the risk to passengers if they're ripped off? I don't think so.
