Default Worrying Central Line incident

Watching the video I don't think anyone comes out of it very well. Quite
why the camera operator kept filming instead of evacuating I don't know.


Well, it's rather a good job he did, because it provides evidence of what
happened and how people responded.

The staff appear (stress - appear) to be running around not really knowing
what to do. And what the woman who climbed out thought she was going to
achieve is beyond me.


She was on a train that she believed was on fire (apparently) and the doors
were jammed shut.

What would you have done, I wonder?

Ironically, they were 'jammed shut' as a safety precaution, as the train
was partly in tunnel.

Where's the manual override on the 92ts, BTW?

But they have CCTV covering the entire platform.

How often do we see CCTV after these incidents?

It doesn't mean that they don't have it.
