Heading back from Blackpool North the other day on the 19:01 through to Preston, formed of 6 coaches - 2 x 331s. The rear 331 was locked out of use and everyone was advised to board the front. At Preston, the locked unit was then opened again (and the service continued through to Manchester).
How often does this happen for passenger services? I am aware that when services are dead then it is not uncommon to lock a unit out of use for the entire duration of a journey, but I've not came across a situation where one is locked and then unlocked midservice.
Anyone know why this is, or if this is common?
