what's all the bolliox about no connecting door, like Siemens have just
invented this.

Other countries have had this for ages

How many of those are "in use on the London Underground"? London's tube
(sic) lines haven't had wide walk-through gangways, not even on the new
Victoria line trains.

I'm disappointed that the DM hasn't picked up that this would make it
easier for foreign beggars to move through the train...

Didn't plans for the 09ts stipulate walk-through? If so, then what happened?

Metronet happened. They went for a low risk conventional design, as there
was no financial incentive to complete the research project that LU had
previously started. The new articulated trains for the PIcc are essentially
what the 09s for the Victoria line should have been.
