I know you said 'may' - I was just disagreeing with you - I hope politely 
, While I agree that a member of staff on the platform COULD have made a difference, and opened the doors in at least 1 car within say 1-2 mins rather than 3-4 min. I don't see this as a reason to have staff back on all platforms all of the time. I can think of quite a few delays that could impede the member of staff in such a situation, and not necessary improve overall safety.
The number of staff detailed is always down to a cost benefit analysis, at the moment I think LUL has the right balance. I note with interest that staff are not easily found to volunteer for Carnival! I wonder why? I also wonder if we would have seen the same response by passengers if this had happened in the rush hour.
Also many thanks aslefshrugged for your reply.
I was rostered to work Bayswater on Carnival weekend in my first year with LUL and it was okay, the main reason I never volunteered to work is that don't want to spend my Rest Days working, especially public holidays, and the overtime rate wasn't enough to persuade me otherwise. Talking to other staff its not that they are worried there's going to be trouble, its simply that they have a life and LUL don't really make it worth our while sacrificing a day off.
