Well, what's so wrong with arranging things so they don't have to?

Yebbut that still won't make things any more convenient for them as they
will still end up stuck at a station where they can't alight if they're in
the wrong part of the train. Unless loads of money is spend lengthening the
platforms at all these stations, but I can think of many locations where
this would be bordering on the impossible due to level-crossings, river
bridges, et cetera.
