I am honestly quite surprised at the controversy this thread has caused, unfortunately getting caught in the door happens far often than posters on this forums may realise. Does this mean someone has been woefully negligent or that the dispatch procedure has not been followed correctly? Not necessarily, (from a Guard's perspective) it is very easy to miss seeing someone boarding or alighting at the last minute, there are lots of doors to watch and you only have one pair of eyes after all. Even after you think everyone has finished boarding or alighting and you hit that
CLOSE DOORS button a passenger can seemingly appear from thin air.
Now the OP states they were in clear view, I'd like to know how they know that for sure? Just because you have half a buggy sticking out a door does not mean you are highly visible to the guard or driver. Even being at the set of doors nearest of the driving cab doesn't mean the driver can see you easily, for all you know he may be focusing his attention to the rear of the train (please for the love of god do not say "well you should be focused on all of the doors at the same time!" as it's just not possible, one pair of eyes and all that.
)
Now I'd like to go back to a post by the OP I have highlighted, and i'm surprised no one else has picked up on this. Now we have already concluded that the rolling stock must have been of an older design as new trains have doors fitted on them that will either stop closing entirely or 'ping' back open upon if an obstruction prevents the doors from shutting. Now while older stock may not have these features fitted, I have noticed that
hussle alarm will sound a good moment before the doors close (infact it defeats their whole purpose if they do not give a warning
before the doors close). So getting back to the incident in question if a passenger indeed had a buggy halfway through a set of doors as the alarm sounded you should have sufficient to alight safely before the doors actually close.
Is it me, or does it sound like perhaps the OP tried to alight from the train as the dispatch procedure had commenced rather than the driver intentionally closing the doors on her as she alighted? Just my 2 cents.
