Were they ever removed, or did some stock just not have them? Class 101s had them until they were scrapped. I recall seeing a kid playing with one once, I shouted at him not to and the parent, if I recall rightly, gave me an earful along the lines of "oh, it won't open while we are moving", erm, yes, it will...
The Mk2D had them from new but they were removed after a series of incidents with people falling from trains. I believe the neither the Mk2E/F nor Mk3s ever had them fitted as a result of early experience with the Mk2Ds.
