It seems incredible that the platform edge doors couldn't be programmed
for a 6 or 7 coach train and have some sort of detection system.
We could have had them. Was it worth paying the extra for a
once-in-a-lifetime event?

Please reply to the Reply-To address, which is:
I would have thought that wanting to run trains of different formations
during the lifetime of PED's on the Jubileee line was quite high.
Let's say that at some time in the future there is a shortage of
rolling stock due to some sort of defect, overcoming this by reducing
the formation is now out on the question.
But hey, whats inconveniencing a few tens of thousands of passengers
compared to spending a few thousand pounds, in the context of the
billions spent on building the Jubilee Line.
