Interesting that the guard has to travel in the train carriage, DLR
style, as the door release and door close buttons are by the doors

I was wondering about this a while ago - i can't remember if i asked here
or not. How does this work when the trains are crush-loaded? Is the guard
sardined in with his flock (school?)?

The fact one pair of doors is open while the guard shuts the others just
means people dash and plead with the guard to be allowed on - this
certainly happened with the lunchtime trip I saw at Highbury where there
is a constant stream of passengers.

I'm really confused by by this. Why is one pair of doors open while the
other isn't? What does 'pair' mean here?
