On LM?

Yes.

Very surprising, given that there are guards (who would go to the
correct side of the train to do the release), and given that the
platforms are on the same side all the way from H&W to Bletchley
inclusive...

It was the 22:54 departure from Euston.

At that time of night the trains sometimes come in on the "wrong"
platform. I'm sure there is, or used to be, a train that terminates at
WJ that comes in on platform 9.

Yes, Watford Junction platform 9 is reversibly signalled and is used
occasionally by trains heading north. The normal Up platform at Tring
(platform 5) is also on the 'wrong' side since remodelling, the other
side of the island (platform 4) is generally used for the terminators.

Thinking about it, I have experienced this *once* - and because I
didn't realise the above was the case, I was expecting an announcement
saying we'd be terminating short.
