250m long? That'll produce some interesting bunching of passengers down
one end. I doubt many people will spend 3 minutes walking down the length
of the platform.

They don't need to, if platform access is properly planned. Go check
out the MTR in Hong Kong, or the RER in Paris. Both systems run
trains over 200 metres long.
