Totally not saying this is the best option, but surely there can be something done to prevent these accidents.

From what I recall, over the last few years, there have been a lot more people who have been hit by the train at random corners than at the stations themselves.

So sure, you could put barriers at all the stations, but would that do much good? Probably not.
