Are there any rules about when and why the train doors should close? I always thought the general rule was the doors would close approx 30 seconds before off.
Tonight the 00:04 London Midland train out of Euston closed approx 4 minutes early. When asked, one station person said the train was overcrowded but this wasn't the case. It was packed but not completely full. Then I heard another station staff say it had to pick up more people from an AC/DC concert at Harrow & Wealdstone.
So was it fair to close the doors early to pick up more people later on? I've never seen this before.
There were about 25 of us prevented from boarding.
