Thats a good idea. Or just have different coloured lights on the train cars
over the doors. Green for lots of space, yellow for getting busy and red
for don't even bother. Or something like that

On LU having people move up and down the platform once the train has
arrived could be quite dangerous.

Not as dangerouns has having people make a dash for it just before it arrives
once the lights go on if they're mounted on the opposite wall or wherever,
because then you have the possibility of someone getting pushed onto the
track with all the shoving.

And yet there are, or were, stations with permanent signs mounted on the
tunnel wall telling people that there will be more space at the other
end of the train. I don't think there are many though. Maybe people know
where they all are.
