And could selective door opening

Yes, this is part of the S-stock upgrade plans: 7-car S-stock trains
the length of current District stock will run all District, H&C and
Circle services.

I didn't realise that, and it seems very odd. Doesn't the problem
apply to several stations in a row? Either there will be one coach
not used by anyone on that stretch, or it would have to be a
different end at different stations.

This sort of thing was tried on the Hampstead tube wasn't it, and I
didn't think it had been all that successful?

The Hampstead tube didn't have articulated carriages.

Nor does the S Stock (or any other LU trains). What the S Stock does
have is open gangways.
