Default More bombs??

Just out of interest, how exactly does this work? I can't help feeling
that there are usually more trains on the system than there are
stations, and that therefore some trains get stopped between stations.
Do they detrain people in the tunnel and get them to walk along to a
station? Or do they hold trains in the tunnel until the train ahead has
been emptied and shunted forward?
