Why would it be an issue if you opened more doors than necessary?
I'm assuming that the edge of the platform will always match the edge of a car, and that it is not possible to board off-platform cars (otherwise they wouldn't be off-platform), and that there will be no people in the "off-platform" cars. Otherwise, how would they get off? It seems extremely inefficient to start the train just to move it half its length, then stop it again.
- manicdee 12y agoSome trains will have 8 cars but stop at some stations with only 4 cars worth of platform. The passengers heading to those station usually knowmto board the first four cars. The difficulty arises when doors are accidentally opened for all cars at 4-car platforms. No, the train does not move forwards by 4 cars, it simply stops, passengers board and alight from the front four (including a rush of passengers frommthe back four cars who forgot that their station is a four-car stop), then the train leaves.
