I know you're not allowed to use the connecting doors while the train is in motion (for obvious reasons), but are you allowed to use them at stations just to move up a car?

No it's technically an offence under the bye-laws wether the train is moving or stationary. And dangerous to boot.

Is the gap between the cars large enough that someone could fall down it?

Oh yes and they have. A woman was killed a while back at Liverpool street doing just that. (passing between cars of a moving train.)

The prson who was killed was on a train which was entering the sidings, they fell when the train lurched over some pointwork.
When we did some ATO test running a few months ago I had to retrieve a laptop from the rear cab, which involved walking the length of the train while in motion, going round the Bank/ St Pauls curves. I think it was fair to say one had to be *extremely* careful of when you stepped between cars.

I have walked through a train in motion, albeit slowly in a depot - you definitely look where you're putting your feet! Anyone using the connecting doors is pretty obvious as they slam so loudly.
