Door open buttons on London Underground

It used to be the case, AIUI, that the driver didn't open all the doors when the train stopped at a station on the surface, at least if it was cold and/or wet and not too busy. Then, you'd have to push the button to open the door. However, this seems to have been too confusing for passengers, and now all doors always open all the time (except when they don't). I have heard two possible explanations: one (as you stated) being that passengers were confused; the other being that there were fears of passengers using close-door buttons to close the doors on other passengers. I have heard that the delay caused while pax (both on the train and platform) realised that they had to open the doors themselves made it impossible to keep to the timetable... Paul S |
