I mailnly travel on the District, Picidily and Circle lines and notice that
when some idiot wedges their foot in the door they all reopen. I had
assumed this was universal that all the doors reopen so other people can
board during the delay or because of cost cutting in the onboard circuitry.

Yesterday on the Central line I saw all the doors closing, then one door
per carriage (the 3rd from the front) all reopened and then closed.

Are there any other irregularities and why does this happen? What used to
happen when the open buttons on the doors were enabled?


The older trains operating on the District, Piccidilly and Circle lines are
operated by the Train Operator (the driver to us mere mortals). S/he can
only open all the doors on the train together, there is no option to reopen
a specific car. Hence when some thoughtless wazzock puts their foot in the
door, and the driver is in a good mood, s/he has no option but to reopen all
the doors together.

The Central Line stock I don't know about.
