Greater Anglia train ran for 16 miles at up to 80mph with open door

A passenger train travelled for 23 minutes at speeds of up to 80mph with a carriage door open, accident investigators have said.

During the incident, which took place in August on a Greater Anglia service, the train travelled for about 16 miles before the driver was alerted.

Greater Anglia said it had immediately conducted checks on all doors on similar trains of that type.

No one was injured in the incident, although passenger groups warned it could have had serious consequences on a more typically crowded train heading in the other direction...
