“Hmm.  Platform on left.  Must release doors on right.  Eeexcellent.”

Time passes…

“Why are all those silly people just standing on the platform?  Actually, why are people waving out the non-platform side of the train??  Let’s put a stop to that tomfoolery!”

The right doors close.  The left doors remain locked.  People inside the train start to panic.  More time passes…

“Oh!!  I know what I need to do!”

The doors on both sides unlock.
