Because, without assistance from station staff,
he has to walk the whole length of the train and
back, checking each car and closing the doors,
and this holds up following trains.

Thats never bothered them on the piccadilly line.
Many a time I've been tipped off at wood green
to wait while the driver wanders down the train
without any station staff around.

That's probably because Wood Green isn't a scheduled reversing point,

Also, LU would presumably be fined if they delayed Silverlink trains at
Stonebridge Park, while this is not an issue at Wood Green.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
