Would be better than nothing.


Half-length trains would raise issues with people standing at the wrong
place on the platform. If platforms are already busy because of the
reduced service, having people rush along it when the train doesn't stop
in front of them increases the risk of someone falling on to the track.


Odd we don't hear of mass casualties on the mainline network then when they
run short trains to crowded stations. Plus some lines on the tube used to do
it in the past IIRC.
