"Beep, beep, beep" the wrong doors close and then the other doors close
and the train departs. I did remember hearing once of a blind person who
was injured when he got out of a train on the wrong side when it came
into a very unusual platform at his normal station but that's the first
time I've ever seen this happen in a modern train.

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.
