I can't see why a flap can't drop down when the door opens to cover the gap. It could signifigantly overhang the side of the train and would allow for all types of platforms.

It would not only provide easy wheelchair access, but also make it easier to get luggage on and off and remove the whole safety issue of the wide gaps at some stations.
