Remember, if there's a risk of the train coming into the station, turn on the flashlight of your phone and wave it left-right. It's the general signal to train operators to stop, and your flashlight might be more visible than a couple people down on the track.

This and just run to the end of the track to give yourself more time and room (if you know which direction the train will come from). I always make a note of this when I’m in the platform in case I fall or get pushed.

You should know which direction the train is coming from based on the traffic light things that light up red/green

That’s not always a good call — there are some track portions that are signaled for bidirectional service

Also if you are a bystander in this situation that's the best thing you can do
