Noticed that the doors in the last car released at Bowes Park today on a up Moorgate service. Message briefly flashed up on PIS saying doors not in use, but then went back to normal.
Wonder if some work has happened on platform to allow this?
Not released at Harringay or Hornsey.

Eurobalises have been fitted to the track which the onboard equipment on the train reads. This then overrides the platform length database and allows the doors to open on coach 6. Also fitted on the down at Hornsey. Awaiting installation on the up at Harringay and both slow line platforms at Brookmans Park. The Eurobalises also enable correct side door opening only.
