This would require them to put in a second track and buy a second train, and have trains running empty in one direction (i.e., TO the arrivals area and FROM the departures area). I can't really see them doing this just for the one passenger in however many thousand who ends up in the wrong part of the airport by mistake. As we can see from nmstough's post procedures are in place to rescue such stranded passengers - no need to build a separate train line for them.

nmstough - really, what do you think you were doing, just randomly heading off to one of the three separate departure areas when the gate was no yet known? And what made you pick Satellite 2, when (as can easily be established by looking at the departures board) 99% of Ryanair flights depart from the gates at the opposite end of the building? You were the idiot here (to use your own word), not all those other passengers that waited for the gate to appear on the board and then made their way to the right place.
