To be fair the original doors were hard to use, I grew up with them. However making them safe without spoiling the appearance seems fairly easy. Rather than remove them from service.

Are these the ones you have to lean out of the window to open?

Kids of today don't even know they're born.

When I was young, we didn't have doors or windows!

I don't think you grew up with those doors, they're not slam doors that latch, you have to actively lock the damn things.

ah ok I was used to the lock on the outside and unlocking them via the window. Maybe there ones similar on other lines?

They still had them on the Cornish sleeper train last time I went as well - I do remember being a little surprised the first time because I thought such things were long gone. The conductor having to walk along the platform slamming all the doors was like watching the Railway Children.
