Door open on moving DLR train

I found this earlier: https://twitter.com/johnnicoll8/status/1778424992847331417. I assume the RAIB will end up looking into it.

Wonder if WCRC will use it as an argument against needing CDL...

TFL are certainly having their fair share of dangerous incidents at the moment. World class?

A door opened and closed on a moving Victoria Line train I was traveling on in the early 80s.

Luckily we had just gone past Oxford Circus and the train was quieter. Before then I had been leaning against that door.

And that's why there are signs on doors forbidding leaning on them!

"CDL"?

Central Door Locking

So that video appears to show a train approaching Mint Street junction and tunnel towards Bank from Shadwell. The door that is open is on the left hand side but at Shadwell station, the doors open on the right. So how on earth ...?

I see you've never been on a tube train in the rush hour.

I'd be finding the PSA or using the pass comm ASAP, sometimes people are sometimes oblivious to the real danger as they want to get to A-B and ignore it. Same with DLR surfers - blind eye time.

There were no interlocks or correct side enabling on the old victoria line stock, this was why drivers had to walk across the cab to the platform side to open the doors at stations

A door open in traffic is not normally something that the RAIB would investigate. It would probably fall under 'another incident that could have caused death or serious injury had the circumstances been slightly different' so would therefore have had to be be reported to the RAIB immediately but the train operator would lead the investigation.

They've investigated it before! Cases in point:

2. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/...ravelling-with-doors-open-on-the-jubilee-line

They will normally investigate if they feel there are wider lessons to be learned.

There was one on LU some time ago on the Northern Line where some kids interfered with a butterfly cock as the train was leaving a platform, the driver didn’t notice the loss of pilot light, and it was on a downhill gradient so the train was able to continue. No RAIB investigation as the root cause was quickly determined.

Looks like nobody thought to press the PassComm. Much more exciting to reach for your phone to video it to post on Twitter than actually bring it to the staff attention and have it sorted out.

They are not using pass comm for reason - as they know they will get stuck their for ages. What they fail to forget would they forgive themselves if someone fell out, for instance a young child.

They might have looked at the situation and thought that unlikely. As you say, they might be aware that they will be stuck there for ages.

Given that passenger emergency alarms are typically located near the doors, the train is quite clearly not busy with everyone seated and nobody near the doors, it seems to me quite sensible that nobody operated the alarm in between stations as this could have resulted in someone falling out.

Especially given the DLR is known for having lots of sideways movement at ‘speed’ - the section to/from Bank being one of these sections.
