This is something that could have been considered for Crossrail.
Crossrail could have had more stations, with express trains skipping
the "local" stations.

Of course costs would have risen exponentially.

Crossrail should have gone with double decker trains. The bullet should just
have been bitten and regauge all the pre-existing lines it'll run on to
UIC gauge. It would cost a lot in the short term but the long term gains
would
almost certainly make it worth it.

That would probably have lengthened load/unloading times.

More than compensated for by hoovering up 50% more passengers per train.
