DOO mirrors are certainly fitted at all the stations on that route.

Watford / Snorbens has got mirrors but the 321 is crewed.

I seem to recall that the former Silverlink AC routes (i.e. Euston -
Northampton and Watford - St. Albans) are driver / guard operated as
the DOO mirror positions were surveyed for class 317s and needed to be
repositioned / resurveyed for use by 321s. I think that this was due to
the 317s having a side cab window, which the 321s lack (the door window
being further back than the 317 cab window). This work was never done
and so 321s remain crew operated. Several platforms have lost their
mirrors during the WCML rebuilding / platform lengthening.

The second man is there to sell the tickets on the Stahlbahns line,
isn't he ?

He is. And he's a very nice man!
