So, I witnessed the other week a passenger standing next to a single leaf door not holding on, as the train rocked from side to side he lost his balance and fell onto the door which made a loud bang.
After this happened every time the train braked the door opened about 3-4 inches and then shut itself during acceleration.
What happened here?
This happened for around 2 stops after which the door stayed shut.
Aren't the doors magnetically locked? If this is the case then I'm guessing he fell on the door with so much force the magnetic lock released and re-locked by chance later on.
Nobody around seemed bothered and neither did he. The only thing he said was "that shouldn't happen" and then he shrugged his shoulders. He even tried preventing the door from opening.
Unfortunately I was too hung over to take note of the car, report it faulty and screw everyone's morning by taking a train out of service.
Isn't there some sort of safety feature to detect this? I'm guessing either yes or no or no because the trains are now old.
Thought please...
