That article is quite irritating. Sydney Trains was right to challenge that
claim, they've spent years and how many $$$$ trying to educate the masses
to "Stand clear doors closing". What else do they need to do?

From the earliest days of automatic door operation, there's been a clearly
audible "hiss" of compressed air indicating door closure is imminent. In
more recent years we've had train guards laboriously intoning the above
words before the computer generated equivalent was installed along with
tones or chimes, and this in addition to the time-honored practice of the
guard blowing his/her whistle.

The article is interesting in that the CCTV image shown to the court
clearly showed the lady close to the edge of the platform with her bag
stuck in the doors. I'm not a betting man but if I was I'd wager that
footage was only available for later viewing by investing personnel and not
available at the time of the incident by station and train staff. The
incident wouldn't have happened if it was, nor would it have happened if
the lady had stood clear of the closing doors.
