The rule is that if I am approaching the platform, the train will
leave and I'll be stuck there waiting for the delayed one, but if I am
on the train, it will be held to regulate the service. There is
probably a name for this law.

I'll open with Yerkes' Law as a suggestion. Any others?!

Yerkes' Second Law: Trains will only be held to regulate the service
at non-interchange stations.

I feel a serious document worthy of academic study coming on here.

Beck's Law: District/Metropolitan/H&C Line Trains come when waiting for
a Circle Line Train; Circle Line trains come when waiting for a
District/Metropolitan/H&C Line Train.
