So how do the passengers get out in an emergency?


I think it would be necessary to have side platforms and emergency
release on the side doors like the DLR underground sections do, as
passengers may well try to leave the train while others are still
moving in an emergency, in the absence of any supervision.

OOI, does it have this?


I believe the control centre can broadcast on a train's PA to tell
passengers what to do. I assume there must be an emergency release on
some of the side doors. Only Line 14 has an evacuation walkway in the
tunnels.
