Just been told by a mate that his train to Waterloo this morning had some 'issues' with the doors.
They arrived at Waterloo on time and had no issues before then, but the doors failed to open. After 5 minutes, the guard told everyone that they would have to exit the train from a single door (presumably the one he was operating) as the door system has failed, which he had opened using the emergency latch. Considering this was a busy 12-car train, I'm told it took a long time to get everyone off!
My question is how often does this happen? I have never heard of any issues with the door systems or ASDO on these trains (apart from the fact the cycles are painfully slow) for a while now...
