An interesting incident happened on my commute this morning at Trowbridge. I was travelling on 1F07 07:28 Cardiff Central to Portsmouth Harbour formed of 5 coaches (166219 leading 165130).
I was travelling in the rear carriage and upon arrival at Trowbridge I thought we were further back up the platform than normal. After exiting I noticed my doors were only just platformed and the rears weren't, yet had opened. A passenger actually exited these doors and jumped down trackside.
I did notice that the front of the train was stopped at the 3-4 car stop board so 2 questions;
1. Did the driver forget the length of their train?
2. Once the train stops, does the guard have anyway of knowing the train is platformed where it should be before opening the doors or is it assumed?
1F07 eventually left 12 late. What are the protocols for incidents like this, is it reported to control?
