Passengers can generally find the platforms at a railway station, it's
not clear why emergency services staff can't. Especially if there are
hundreds of wounded people milling around.

On foot I could find the platform at, say, Euston. Not so sure I
would automatically know the road access route to the platforms or be
able to get the gates open.

If Brazilian electricians[1] can vault over gates, so can the emergency
services.

Hmm. Are you suggesting that to ensure their alacrity in serious
emergencies, rescue teams should be pursued by teams of confused,
panicking armed policemen? Could work.
