I have climbed in and out of a full sized 3rd rail EMU via the drivers
steps to track level a few times, and while not completely simple, I
did not find it that much of a challenge.
I am inclined to go with the public opinion that he was swinging the
lead a bit until someone explains how running around a court making
major course changes at short notice can be more physically demanding
than climbing out of a cab and walking along the track.

Remember it's reported he originally claimed that he was playing squash on
medical advice but later reports said he'd said he found the prescribed
physio
'monotonous' so had self-prescribed squash to strengthen the ankle.
