More importantly, like other near accidents (eg the opening of the
rear doors over the junction in the dark at Hither Green when the
driver forgot the length of the train), it couldn't have happened if
they still had guards.

Couldn't?

More likely not to have happened, quite likely, but guards have been
responsible for a number of incidents which could have been
dangerous. IIRC at least one of the door opening incidents on London
Transport was caused by a guard, perhaps one of the ones involving a
moving train.
