At around the time that the last of the slam door stock was withdrawn, NR removed the drivers' rulebook requirement to "sound your horn whilst entering or leaving a station when a train is standing on an adjacent line".

It must have saved countless people's lives over the years.

I expect that like me, most of the drivers on here have come close to hitting someone who was leaning out of a train window.

It's a heart-stopping experience.
