Taking full trains out of service and holding full trains does not
benefit most people but makes the lights on the screen more even.


I would doubt that "full trains" are taken out of service unless they
fail a trip tester or some other related safety problem, perhaps you


I'm sure I've heard the driver announce once or twice, having failed to
successfully close the doors twice, that if they failed again (i.e. if
people didn't let them shut) he would consider the train defective and
have it removed from service.


I don't know if this was just a threat or not though.
