When a train is moving are the doors locked? I've just come off a train and one of the door could be opened when the the train was moving at full speed

Eep! What train was this? As for the question, I don't beleive that there is a locking system as such, if a door is open the motors will cut out and the pilot light extinguish, but there is no forced brake application. As for forcing doors open, this is very difficult to do with the air operated doors (pre 2009 stock) and I would imagine also fairly difficult with the modern electric doors

All the trains except for the newest (Victoria line and S stock) have a feature called "pushback". Single doors and one door of a pair of double doors can be pushed back about 115mm/4inches in order a) to release trapped bag straps etc and b) to minimise the pressure on objects trapped in the door such as arms or feet. The doors can't be opened beyond the limit quoted above
Victoria Line and S stock have obstacle detection to help with b) and sensitive edges to help with a).
