Been on plenty of the old LIRR diesel crap with open doors between stations (the longer Montauk runs used to have folks smoking off the vestibule of the last car, bouncing through Nassau and all)

The British are weird about train doors, at least one series has manual doors you need to open from the outside. The design makes it easy to dump yourself out onto the platform.

And the bathroom doors on British trains are legendary in themselves…

Even the Comet I did so post-rebuild when some were converted to high doors with ADA, other original low doors.
