Summary
A passenger on London’s Elizabeth line was forced to run several meters along a platform at Ealing Broadway station after his hand became trapped in the closing doors of a departing train on 24 November.
Railway staff intervened to pull him away, and the train stopped after moving 17 meters. The passenger sustained minor injuries.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) is investigating the incident, part of a series of similar “trap and drag” cases, to improve safety measures.
Transport for London and the operator, MTR, are cooperating fully.
Yeah, completely unsolvable apart from the fact these have been solved in other countries 🙄 - not with turnstiles but with the additional doors which line up with train doors.
It’s the usual British “it won’t work” without even trying to explore what other nations (just accros the channel) implemented.
