Aren't they supposed to check at the end of the line or only when the
train
is shunting do they check for people still on board?

The carriages only have to be checked when the train is about to do a
move which isn't "passenger certified" (or whatever the exact phrase
is).


Isn't the loop at Kennington an instance, apart from the others you
mentioned, where the staff clear everyone out of the train first?


Not any more, the checks stopped a few months back, presumably because
a normal passenger wouldn't notice anything unusual until they arrive
at Kennington for the second time!!
