Default DLR Train Captain Texting Whilst 'Driving'

Curved platforms at some stations on Line 1 of the Paris Métro aren't
preventing the installation of curved doors there.


Even if curved doors are significantly more expensive or something, I
don't see why they couldn't just use straight doors on a curved wall --
it would mean a very small amount of wasted space between the center of
the door and the edge of the platform, but who cares...?

There does seem to be a dangerous design 'fault' with the DLR stock
that needs the train captain's full attention. That is the huge gap
between the cars. They are not fitted with a protective curtain as are
most tube stock. I guess its only a matter of time before someone
falls onto the track between cars and the train starts automtically
with fatal consequences. CJB.
