This is interference: “although both trains cannot enter the station at the same time”
It is happening all the time in the Netherlands/. We have in almost all stations an A & B side. Used for trains from south and north at the same time.
What even happens is arriving two trains coming from south, both enetering the same platform, one at A side, one at B side. And with a switch in the middle the train in the back can leave earlier then the train in front.
Using a platform for only half for a train from the north (or south) is even showing in Train Fever. At least the colored line representing a line is stopping halfway(!) a station.
