Excellent video, likes from me ...

Top marks to the volunteers for putting safety first.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

It was because one of the door handles on the GWR set was not in the closed position

[@gs425]

The acceleration...and subsequent deceleration are amazing !
I guess its because with no flashover risk the hydraulics can put all their power down from scratch

[@thewyntoncotelindenheritag8229]

Good job by the staff member for noticing.

[@tornado1986cw]

I know that feeling, this has happened to me before when i dispatched a train on the Nene valley railway, when a door wasn't shut properly 😅

[@dylpil9789]

Nice catch

[@7822welshsteam]

I was on this.

[@Fchops11]

I was on the train at bewdly becuase the door opened the whistle went from the gured and it swung

[@juleshathaway3894]

Possibly a door not shut properly as the platform staff noticed as the coaches passed him.

[@DavidLovesTrains]

Will be, platform staff look at the door handles to see if the door is shut as the handle has to be facing a horizontal to be shut.

I can confirm this, the GWR stock arent fitted with slam doors and are more prone to being open

[@DavidLovesTrains]

@@RailFanAthena As I volunteer at Kidderminster Station, we have to look more carefully with the GWR stock, we also do the same with other stock as sometimes people don't shut the doors fully or not at all.

[@thesudricmerman3318]

any idea why for emercency stop ?

[@taylord9587]

judging by what’s usually the cause at the SVR, most likely a door handle not in the right position

[@NewtonRoadModelRailway]

Pretty sure it was for a door not closed properly

[@heritage0001]

Reviewing the footage all the handles were in the correct position

[@taylord9587]

most likely a false alarm then, happens quite often at the SVR

[@BobC250]

@@heritage0001 - You couldn't see the full length of the train, prior to the emergency stop, so not sure how you could tell that....
