I don't use the tube much but when I do it is usually the Bank branch of the Northern Line.
Twice now I have been injured (bruises) caused by the opening passenger door hitting my arm. I have been standing in the boarding area because I am travelling with baggage and have been holding the handrail in the doorframe. Passengers seem to congregate in this area and not move down into the cartiage aisle.
Today I was standing with my back to the door and I momentarily moved backwards ro allow another passenger room to alight. The door hit my arm and the force of the rapidly opeimg door almost broke my wrist. The problem is that the recess which contains the window in the door caught my arm and forced it rapidly forward. I was holding the handrail built into the doorframe , but it is very difficult to move it out of the void when you have a heavy and rapidly moving door forcing your hand into the handrail.
This is a poor design feature and will break somebody's wrist or bones in their hand. The inner part of the door window should be flush with the door skin but at the moment it is recessed about an inch/3cm.
My hand is very sore and travelling on public transport should not lead to injuries to the public.
