The coroner's concerns
1. person or hazard on the track ahead
“If a member of the public on the train sees a person or hazard on the track ahead they have to go to one of the doorways to activate the passenger alarm”
2. persons slipping, falling or collapsing on to a line
“central DLR CCTV monitoring system cannot watch all stations at the same time and the safety of persons slipping, falling or collapsing on to a line on the DLR system seems to rely on ability of members of the public to notice the hazard and activate the alarm on either the platform or the train”
