Surely the train would not fit in a platform with the 4 cars of the 4D and 3
of a comeng, or is the 4D's carriages shorter?  I spose, they coul;d run the
first car of the 4D past the platform as it has passages between carriages,
so that passengers in the front could get out through the next car??  So how
does it work??
