They manage. However, loading and unloading large numbers of people
at central stations is slow.

I've seen the Dutch managing, and very well. Everyone who is going to
get off at a station congregates towards the vestibules, so they can get
off as soon as the doors open. None of this UK nonsense where people
look up from their paper/phone when the train has stopped and ask "is
this X", and then rush to the doors obstructing the people who are now
getting on. The Japanese also have very good discipline getting on and
off trains.
