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.
