Blimey!

I guess the Passenger Service Agent (PSA) leant in and hit the doors
close button whilst still standing on the platform. That's quite a
muck up to make though, and actually sounds like quite a difficult
thing to achieve!


I think that pulling the PSA key out has the same effect, and would be
easier to do - both physically and as a likely result of momemtary
absent-mindedness.

That said, automatically driven unstaffed metro do exist elsewhere
without problems (something I learnt only recently from other utl
posters, proving again how little I know!).


Lille would be the nearest one, I think.
