Since when can a station controller close the doors on a tube train?


There is a button on the outside of each car that allows the doors on that
car to be closed.

Yes, but thats on each car (sic), the guard controls all door locks
but can this be overriden by the station controller
I expect they can prevent the doors opening, but I doubt they
can close them all

And the station controller can press those buttons, all the way down the
train, from his little cabin on the concourse. I *am* impressed.

Where they were being closed from wasn't specified.

You appear to be assuming that I watched the programme, I didn't.

Sorry, I thought you had; because you seemed to be saying that where
they were being closed from wasn't specified (in the programme).

They are generally open and closed automatically on the tubes. infact, in 10
years on living in London, I can't remember having to open/close a tube door
myself.

They're not automatic. In days of yore there was a guard on the back, part
of whose job it was to operate the doors. Now you have the benefit of one
person, a Train Operator, to both drive the train and operate the doors. The
button referred to earlier is for staff use when detraing.

I've once had to open the platform doors from inside a Jubilee Line train
when they didn't open. I assume they are linked with the train doors
normally.
