I'm not sure. They certainly open both sets of doors on the
eastbound District line platform at Barking.

Lawrence Myers:
Yes. That's to allow cross platform interchange to and from both
the Gospel Oak Line, on the left, and Shoeburyness trains on the
right.

So do people then cross through the District trains to get between
the Gospel Oak and Shoeburyness lines, too, like at Jamaica
station on the LIRR in New York? Or are their routings such that
there would be no reason to do that anyway?

People do cross through the District line trains to change between the
Gospel Oak trains and c2c trains. Or at least they do when the District
line trains aren't very full. If they had lots of people in them they
might find it harder to do.
