Does anyone have a list of all of the short platforms on the London Underground and which carriages and or doors will not open at these stations? Many thanks.

Front or rear doors depending on direction of travel - some of these are one set of doors, some are two sets of doors. Never really paid attention to how many at each...
Baker Street ( Circle )
Paddington Praed Street
Bayswater
Notting Hill Gate
I think there's one or two on the Wimbledon branch as well?
Northern Line (from memory!) all rear set of double doors unless otherwise noted:
Hampstead northbound
Euston (City) southbound
Moorgate southbound (front doors)
Clapham Common southbound
Clapham Common northbound (front doors)
Camden Town (Barnet) northbound
Charing Cross northbound (front doors)
Charing Cross southbound
Ealing Bdwy pfm.7 - eastern door

Gunnersbury DOWN - front door
Hammersmith EB2 - rear door; WB3 front door + rear door
West Kensington EB - rear 2 doors
West Brompton WB - front door

Putney Bridge WB - front door
Notting Hill Gate OR - front 1 + rear 2; IR front 2 + rear 2
Bayswater OR - front 2 + rear 2; IR front 2 + rear 2

In normal service, yesIs the clockwise Baker Street platform the only one on the network where a whole carriage doesn't fit on the platform?
Similarly to Pic trains reversing east to west at Kings +, the trains have to stop in the tunnel with the east end double doors and a single leaf of the next double doors cut out, this is to ensure the T/Op can see the signal and monitors from the west end cab.Then there is Harrow S/B and Northwood northbound where the platform is long enough but the signalling necessitates stopping a car through the platform in order to be able to see the shunt signal when going into the sidings.
Kings Cross St Pancras on metropolitan line
On S Stock it is automatic.Many thanks for all the info. Can i ask how does SDO work on the London Underground? Is it all done automatically or does the driver have to manually select which coaches and doors to open and not open?
Only in the event of a slight overrun at platforms. (or stopping short when crew-operated)Was SOD ever used on the C stack?
I took a train last morning from King's Cross and I saw that sign and I was wondering at this thread.
That is mentioned in my list of 14 January.Gunnersbury southbound the front doors don't open on S stock. I think its to do with the gap between the train and platform as the platform is the other side of the door but they don't open the door.
Out of interest i have always wondered why are there some short platform stations where the front doors (rather than the rear doors) do not open? I know normally (at least on National Rail services) it is only the rear door(s) that do not open but the front door(s) will always be opened on short platforms. Is there a reason for the front doors (rather than the rear doors) not opening at certain stations on London Underground (on S stock and on 1995 stock)?
