I enjoy doing my job all of the time, and yep, I aggree about some people needing to be thrown off while moving. Unfortunately, all the units we work have door/brake interlocks - a door opens, the brakes apply

Except the unit end gangway doors

raise the TIS and EBS (traction interlock switch, and emergency bypass switch) - these disable the "train wire 4" safety circuit, all the passcoms and emergency brake handles, and door open switches, and allow the train to release the brakes and obtain engine power with a door open or an emergency lever pulled etc etc

They have been used a couple of times in anger

having said that, the 155 units we operate do not have a brake interlock for the doors, only a power interlock - hmmmm
