Door policy

[rebmcr]

An S-Stock train I'm currently on is only releasing doors, rather than opening them. Is that a new policy?

Is it controlled by a setting, or selected each time the Doors Open buttons are pressed?

It is not a new policy.

There is a driver operated setting which allows the doors to be opened solely by passengers or by the driver.

Was this underground or outside? It might have benefits in cold weather at lesser used stations.

Down to driver's discretion. There is no hard and fast rule about door control but generally kept under driver's control.

As it is bl**dy freezing at the moment, the driver is thinking of you lot and doing his best to keep you warm!

Outside; by the time we got underground I had stopped paying attention! :3

Good to know, the last I was aware there was "no agreement for its use" so wasn't able to be changed. Does that differ from depot to depot?
