train door delay arriving at victoria

It is because one of the platforms at Victoria is shorter than the others. *I think it is platform 7 from memory. *It takes the system a bit longer to open the doors because it has to confirm that it is at the right platform. by The system also has a problem at smaller two platform stations if one platform is shorter than the other. *There was a case where the london bound platform could take 12 coaches but the country one only 8. *As the GPS was not sensitive enough to tell which platform the train was at it would only open 8 coaches in both directions. Just to clarify a couple of points. On Electrostar the guard does not release the doors, the driver does it. The Victoria release takes a while because the train does not receive the GPS signal owing to the Victoria Place complex. For this reason when we attempt the door release the train computer asks us where it is in order to know how many doors to open. Also note there is no facility to prevent wrong side door releases. t |
