Talk:Selective door operation

Untitled

I'm editing this specifically for trains with a small mention to buses. Buildings? I don't know where the system employed on transport is used in buildings.

Anyone is welcome to undo my changes but I feel that this article's in need of some TLC. Worley-d 11:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Professional Opinion: This page is almost totally incorrect and needs to be re-written. As I say this is my Professional Opinion, as a professional in terms of I worked witht the system. Dottorre

Re worked the entire page, adding some references. I made this page purley a railway page. Dottorre —Preceding undated comment added 01:20, 21 December 2009 (UTC).

Sadly there is no real reference material online on this subject, if anyone can find then please do. It is not permited to cite the UK Railway Rule Book on any publication directly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dottorre (talk • contribs) 23:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Worldwide view

This is good but it is too focussed on the UK. We should cover it more generally.

I tried babelfishing the Japanese page but the translation was too garbled to be much help. They do have couple of nice animations that we could use though: ja:ファイル:Door full open.gif and ja:ファイル:Door cut.gif. --DanielRigal (talk) 10:00, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I quite agree, a more world viwe is required. Sadly my knowlage only covers the UK, so would not be qualifed to add to this in that capacity. Dottorre —Preceding undated comment added 21:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC).

Metra commuter rail in Chicago uses "selective door operation." On less-busy trains, or on certain runs, the conductor will only open the doors on some of the cars and not others. This also has to do with where the train stops at the station. At some stations, particularly on the Union_Pacific/West_Line, some cars do not have platform access and "hang out" over the road crossing. --Stevevance (talk) 04:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
