A question for drivers and other train staff - apologies if this has already been asked/answered elsewhere.
Watching one of today's XC services roll into Newcastle Central Station, I couldn't help notice that the driver had his left-hand (non-platform side) door open as the train was heading into the station.
Is this usual practice (i.e. for extra ventilation if the air conditioning is u/s) or is it something which goes against regulations as it may be a safety issue? I noticed that the door was still open as the train left the station as well.
I haven't identified the actual service above as I don't necessarily want to get anyone into trouble....
Thoughts?
