Hello,

Hopefully somebody here can shed some light on this. Earlier this
evening I was on a northbound Northern Line train, wanting to get
off at
Golders Green as normal. When the train pulled into the platform,
there
was a very brief "beep", but the doors didn't open. After a minute
or so
(the amount of time the doors would normally be open) the recorded
voice
saying the train was leaving came on, and the train pulled away.
There
was no announcement, apology or explanation from the driver at all -
it
was if they hadn't noticed that none of the doors opened.

Any ideas why this would happen?

At a guess, the Train Op didn't stop in "just the right place" for
the
train to 'dock' and release the doors, and he or she wasn't paying
attention to the cab display to see that the doors needed to be
released
manually.

Cya,

Barry
