Doors will not open (short platform)
Formal Neutral
What it really means
At small stations, the platform may be shorter than the train, so doors in some carriages stay shut. Announcements say things like "customers for Hedge End should move to the front four coaches". Listen carefully or you cannot get off.
Chinese explanation
小站的站台可能比列车短，部分车厢的门不会打开。广播会说"前往某站的乘客请移步前四节车厢"之类的话。要仔细听，不然到站下不了车。
Example conversation
A: Customers alighting at Reedham should travel in the front two coaches, as this station has a short platform.
B: That is our stop. Come on, we need to move up the train now.
A：在里德姆下车的乘客请乘坐前两节车厢，该站站台较短。
B：那是我们要下的站，快，我们现在就得往前走。
