How much hassle it is for them should be irrelevant. Convenience for the
travelling public should be their first and foremost priority. But thats
obviously in an ideal world, the real world where people can't be arsed is
another matter.

It would probably be more useful to either reduce the chances of a fault
grounding a train, or making it easier for another train to rescue it.
