Seems like a bit of a storm in a tea-cup, but at least it wasn't one of
the new 2009 stock trains, despite the BBC's pic showing one.


I had thought it would be impossible to open the doors when a train
was moving, unless it was by using the emergency controls.


Presumably this is true for more modern stocks, which force you to wait
seconds while the nanny electronics works out whether you've actually
stopped. *It's one of the pleasures of the Paris M tro to be able to
alight before the train stops (on some lines anyway) - quite like old times.


See also: the District Line. Erm, allegedly.
