A London tube train hurtled along at speeds of up to 40mph on Saturday morning – with its doors wide open.

Christiano Nops filmed as the Jubilee Line train travelled between Finchley Road and West Hampstead stations on Saturday morning.

He later uploaded the clip, which shows a number of travellers seated in the carriage, on Instagram.

In a message to Transport for London, he wrote: ‘Took the Jubilee line Saturday with @roryfergusbrown and the driver thought it was ok to leave the doors open…better than the air con but not particularly safe!?!’

His friend Rory Brown shared the clip on Twitter, adding another message to Transport for London.

‘@TfL new way to keep tubes cool in the summer – leaving the doors open,’ he wrote.

‘Pretty bloody sketchy! #whatishealthandsafety?’

In response to a Twitter user who expressed shock that no one had pulled the emergency handle on the train, Mr Brown clarified that at least 10 doors on one side of the train were open.
