I have to say it's very common on the Windsor lines for guards to work the train from the cab even when the train's not busy. Even on occasion they'll lock the connection between units so passengers can't walk through (like 455 and 458) and so they can spread themselves out in the cab without disturbance. If these particular staff want the case made for DOO they're doing a very good job of it, I'm afraid.
There was a notice that came out about a month ago conserning this action about guards that have been closing the gangway doors between the units and stopping the passengers from walking thruogh the train, we have been told that if guards are seen/caught doing so they will be given disaplinary action as they're not performing their duties as guards if they are sealing off the unit and also doing so you are causing a safetly issue as this walk way is/ can be used as an emergency exit if required and as such is like locking out a gang way door betweek coaches on a 455 preventing passengers from moving up the train if required.
