    On competing a timetable service that doesn’t “terminate here” why do they close the doors open them then close them again before leaving ?

    Just finished part one of a Gatwick Airport to Reading service GWR at Redhill and after opening the doors and loading completes I’m booted off the service when this happens.

    Please change this so you close the doors before giving up the service or npc driver only closes them once before leaving. I’m sure a real driver/conductor taking over would do this.

    Door closing behavior is set on each timetable node, on each route.

    In my East Coastway timetable, I leave the doors open when transferring a service between human and AI drivers, as well as at terminus stations. Then they only need to close before the train next departs.

    To make this change would require some manual work on every route (it can be done as a batch, but still requires timetable editing) so we're unlikely to see it changed for past routes -- but maybe going forward timetable designers can keep this in mind.
