train door delay arriving at victoria

I understood it was because the GPS system, which controls the selective door opening, can't see any of its satellites when it is under the building built on top of the platforms. The conductor has to wait for the system to time out allowing it to be overriden. It only really seems to affect the Southern platforms, the South-Eastern platforms (1-7) generally seem to have normal opening times. However Southeastern's 375s have similar problems at Cannon Street, although they've been better of late, perhaps because the office buildings above the station are being redeveloped so maybe the GPS signals are getting through now? -- Roy |
