Heard a rumour/story about Met Line train driver who opened the doors on
the wrong side of the train at a platform. Didn't check to see if anyone
actually did get off the wrong side. Closed the doors. Opened the other
side. Then went off. Station assistant complained. Driver has got
sacked. Met Line drivers are going to go on strike to get him
reinstated.
True or not?

Don't know if it's true, but isn't there some kind of interlock to prevent
the wrong doors being opened?

Obviously not! You'd think a highly trained and highly paid human would be
able to work out which button to press ...
