I do hope you are not suggesting something that people with luggage
could not use.

How about a return to the idea of a gate with an attached luggage
'chute' like to original Victoria Line gates?

It would need to take all sorts of luggage, some of which might be
heavy.

It might or might not be acceptable to have difficult to use
barriers on urban railways, but long distance passengers in
particular would find them objectionable if they made carrying
luggage more difficult. Some would travel by other means instead.
