I know someone else who had her foot badly injured by a MK3 door quite a few years ago. It seems they lack the usually mandatory "beeping alert" and also I wouldn't like to test their ability to recognise your foot!

Quite a few questionable design issues in the older rolling stock too !

The MK4 undoubtedly has a lot of snags that will need to be resolved. I'm sure this is the best time to do that though. The more feedback that goes back to CAF the better.

I'm still flabbergahsted that they didn't put sockets for laptops into the standard class areas. Surely it's standard in 2006 ?! They're only in CityGold. Not every business traveller will pay the premium for the service. Not to mention students etc. Little features like that give the train a major advantage over the bus.
