No issues coming into New Street from Soho, so that side seems fine.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

323216 reported going to Liverpool, presumably as a result of stock disruption - I believe Wolverhampton work all Sunday trains, even to the extent of going passenger to Crewe to work the Sunday starter, against all diagramming principles.

  mmmmmm.......TFL class 345 unit opened passenger doors on the wrong side at  Stratford on Friday morning (18th January) @ 09.30am   with the platform side locked. Fortunately no one leaning against it at the time as the consequences  could have been unimaginable . both platform and unit taken out of service pending investigations.
     Possible fault with ASDO  system  is there a similar system on the Midland metro? or are the doors operated by the driver? :-\
Mind the Gap.....?:-)

All doors are opened by the driver or guard except possibly on Thameslink core. As far as I am aware all ASDO does is confirms that the train is in the right place - some stations have reminder boards to open the doors on a particular side so presumably doesn't manage which side the platform is.

In any case I don't think CL.345 doors normally open automatically, although they may have the option for the tunnel section.
