Hi all! Ill keep this short, I was going home tonight, and got stuck at Mile End, waiting for a train with faulty doors at Leyton to be repaired. What happened tonight? I also wondered, could the driver not just have tipped out at Leyton and gone up to either Leytonstone middle platform or Woodford sidings empty? Im guessing this wreacked havoc with the evening service. Thanks all!  |

providing the driver could get the doors shut then no problem, one set of doors not closing then a member of staff has to travel near the doors ready to operate a pass alarm should anyone try to board, more doors not closing, no idea! Getting a member of staff can prove difficult if a section 12 station only has minimum staff on duty as this would involve closing the station or having someone travel up from another.

I remember last year boarding a train at Bethnal Green just as it was being detrained due to the doors on the left side not being able to open. The problem with taking a train out of service and running it empty, it costs, and I suppose if the problem can be resolved, it's better to get it resolved and keep the train in service. I'm not 100% sure but that's what I would guess.

All the doors failed to close. It was suspected that one of the saloon door open buttons being pushed in was the issue. Porter buttons, the ones at each end of the cars that close the doors on that car didn't close them either. Train was about to move off very slowly with all doors open to Leytonstone when the doors then all closed. 27 minute delay.

Assuming the 92 stock has a door control mcb, would that have not bypassed the problem and allowed the doors to be closed by either porter button, doors close buttons at the other end of the train, or manually shut? |

Think what was meant was that one of the door open buttons had got jammed in the depressed position. When the 92s were fairly new, I saw this happen at Leytonstone. It was cured by one of the platform staff giving it a kick, with the imprecation f.....awful trains!

A fun commute for sure, thanks for that |
