/s … Genuinely curious has there always been an open door button in the gangway on NGRs? Why and which doors does it open? My best guess, being right between carriages, it might open doors in both directions?

Curious me will press it one day but I don’t want to look like a goofy goober in front of my fellow commuters.

  1. No its to open fire doors if the smoke alarms detect smoke. In the event of a fire the inter car doors will shut.

  2. Yes mate, anyone can press it at any time and it will automatically disconnect the whole fucking train. Obviously

  3. Train designer got confused. When the specs inexplicably asked for buttons on the doors they put them on every door.

    As my dad would always say when I was little and asked what random buttons would do “Press it and find out.”

  5. Yup that’s right. It will decouple the other half of the train and everyone on the back half has to go backwards to the last station to couple with a different train.

  6. The door is open. You can see it in the wall right now. They don’t close any more so they placed a cover at the bottom.

    When the doors are closed, they have a button on them so you don’t need ones on the outside.

    I completely misread this post and was suddenly on a world where they just had a ‘decouple train’ button in reach. Can you IMAGINE

  8. Nope haha! Thats the button that turns off our power grid and converts you into a ravenous animal that hacks your neighbours into strips of meat jerky so you don’t die of starvation. Don’t press it! 🙈

    No it stops the train immediately because little do people know, train manufacturers have invented brakes that completely stop all inertia with no delay and qld transport, Brissie council, the federal government and Western Australia agricultural department, especially WA agriculture, paid from their individual budgets to implement them without announcing anything

    🙌completely true
