So, at Piccadilly today the 21:02 to Blackpool failed to open 5 out of the 6 doors in the front 3 carriage set (formed of 2x3 carriage 331/0). Anyone who has used these trains and the 195s knows that the 'Door Out of Use' signs are a misnomer, as they are normally lit until the doors are unlocked.
How are passengers meant to know when the doors are genuinely out of use? With a broken foot, I had to wade through 3 carriages of people getting on to get to the rear most door and attempt to get off before it was dispatched; the platform staff were oblivious; and there was no PA announcement at all.
