Permissive arrangement for the safety of train outer doors during travel
Explanation:
This would be either a mechanical or electrical interlocking system which prevents the doors of the carriages from being opened whilst the train is in motion, to prevent accidents, and should also prevent the train from being moved if any of the doors are open.
