The STOMPer saw commuters being forced in or out of the trains by the closing doors.

Said the STOMPer:

"I was appalled and shocked to hear that there is no sensor at door of Circle Line train.

"While waiting for the train to arrive and attempting to board (as usual, peak hour, overcrowding and long waiting time), I saw the door closing without any pause after the door-closing signal and just pushed those who were in the midst of boarding in or out of the train.

"What happens if someone got stuck in the middle? Is this a good system?"
