Just been on a train in Southeastern land (won't name train here), train stopped and doors were opened - the rear 1 1/2 carriages being off the platform.
Luckily train was lightly loaded and no-one attempted to jump down to the track and everyone made it off the train okay. Driver seemed not to realise and shut doors and went off as normal.
I do not want to get the driver in question in trouble, but this could have potentially been quite a serious incident.
What is normal procedure for this? Can the driver tell if the train is fully in the platform on the DOO cameras?
