This train is ready to depart...

This may seem a bit too common but how many of us have actually been through this rather unreasonable experience. Here i am, standing at the Oxford Circus station waiting to catch Central Line - West bound. After getting 3 Ealing Broadway branch, finally i get my long awaited West Ruislip branch train arriving at the platform. Now I've already been waiting for about 8 minutes and by then, a huge crowd for West Ruislip has already gathered on the platform.

The tube arrives and doors open. As usual, there is an announcement, "Welcome to Oxford circus" Okay... fine, the announcement continues - "Please allow passengers to alight first" fine, fair enough, we stand on side to clear exit and guess what??? the next announcement goes "This train is ready to depart, please stand clear of the closing door"....... no its not !!! What a minute, what about all of us standing here, isn't this train supposed to wait to let passengers in.

Now i am not sure how many of you have gone through this, but this is really annoying and i go have to put up with this every single evening! Everyday, i have to literally push a little to make sure i get in before the impatient doors close.....

I would like to raise this to Transport of London that waiting another 15 seconds may not cause a big delay on the tubes but it gives us a comfortable entry into the tube.
