In deep underground lines? I never experienced that, and in rush hour central line or Northern line it's basically impossible not to lean on the door.


I take the central line regularly and this happens once a week. Big yank, followed by a "Please don't lean on the doors, it will slow down the train", it's par for the course.


The old district line stock used to do it, but they’ve all been replaced now. It didn’t stop the train it would limit the maximum speed. The driver would keep announcing to stop leaning but in heavy traffic that wasn’t always easy.


I think the Central Line still does it.
