Me. I was fiddling with my ipod with my back to the train track at Clapham junction I didn't see the train arrive but when I did I grabbed my bag with one hand and bike with the other and attempted the 5 yard dash only for the doors to shut on me half way through. I couldn't drop either and unlike the tube they don't open automatically if something gets jammed.
Two passengers had to force them open while the guard kept repeating "stand clear of the doors" like I had a choice.
Shame, shame I know my name
