Platform 2 & 3 Finsbury Park Station

Why can't trains at platform 2 open the doors both sides to speed up transfer between Kings Cross and Moorgate trains?
The central line trains do this at Stratford

  • If a train pulls into platform 2 you could then transfer to 1 or 4 easily
  • It is because there are two signs where the driver sits which says 'open doors this side only' on Platform 2 and a sign that says 'open doors other side' on Platform 3. The drivers obey the instructions as this is what the union tells them to do. It is probably unsafe to disobey the union. It would also facilitate access to Platform 3. No one really uses Platform 4 - it is seriously the Loser Platform. Maybe people use it, but I bet they won't admit to it.
