Do drivers get pleasure from closing the doors and preventing people from
getting on?....I think the answer is yes. I reckon they time it perfectly.

In the peaks, if it means that the train runs to time and the following ones
are not delayed, then that's the right thing to do, as it benefits most
passengers. Yes, drivers should certainly be pleased to achieve that.

Yep got the bugger, it's even better if they trap a bag or laptop,
that's the only thing that I can really say I've actually achieved in a
shift

Not as much as Northern Line drivers get from closing the doors of a
Charing Cross train at Kennington just as we're getting off a Bank one and
trying to change! Miserable *******s.

Certainly. They can see/hear the train coming in on the opposite platform
and know dozens of people will want to change. So they pull off just in
time to make us wait for the next one!

(waits for someone to start going on about timetables - as if the Northern
Line ever sticks to one!) ;-)

No, they should be unhappy about being told to be rude to their
customers In any case, isn't it quicker overall to let passengers
board and so make the platfomr clearer for disembarkers from following
trains?

Essentially you are saying that, at very busy stations like Victoria,
every train should only leave the platform when it is full.
