I haven't got the details of the Camden Town incident
to hand but one thing possibly missed by the driver was that before he
set off he failed to check the platform starter; had he done so then
its absence should have indicated something was wrong. For practical
purposes he seems to have compounded the event by doing a one-man
"ding-ding and away".

He checked the platform repeater in the in-cab CCTV.

(which is against the rules, but not a SPAD)

You'd think he might have remembered which side the platform was on
and which door he got out of when he arrived. Was the man half asleep?
