Why have we not heard more about this, however?

A bit of a transparency fail here, by the look of it.

Interesting video. The "doors open on a moving train" looks suspiciously
like the driver having opened the doors just before the train has fully stopped
in a station. You see it all the time on old stock that doesn't have computer
interlocks.

Yes, I think that's perfectly normal, and welcome, as it reduces dwell
time. I suspect that's a passenger video that has nothing to do with the
problem over the weekend, when doors opened themselves between stations.

How come someone was videoing it? Perhaps it had happened at previous
stations too.

All the doors, or just one set?

Sure, it happens at lots of stations. The drivers routinely release the
doors just before the trains stop, so the doors are fully open just as it
comes to a halt. It works very well and I've never heard of anyone getting
hurt. That's quite different to the butterfly valve problem, when the doors
open uncommanded between stations.

I don't know, but suspect it's one car.

I'm guessing the BBC trawled youtube for the video.

It came via Twitter and is not the incident train. The incident was
nearer Heathrow.

Actually in Heathrow I thought, as the train approached the T4 station. Do
you know if it was one door or all of one car's doors that opened in the
tunnel?
