But if the train stopped too far forward then there may not be enough room on the platform to evacuate everybody?
It depends on the station layout, I suppose

Thorpe Park: General Discussion
It depends on the station layout, I suppose

I'm pretty sure the main reason this would've stopped is because of the competition around getting last train of the day on Hyperia.
There is a lot of competition from Thorpe Enthusiasts to get it and it can get carried away.
I have noticed the park are clamping down on people trying to do that with announcements that the queue will close at closing time on the dot and of course, not offering last train of the day re-rides.

Just to chip in on the last train of the day.
They do still do this, but they don’t and never have to. It’s purely down to operators discretion.
The reason this was introduced was to give a good last impression from the park. Imagine you’re going on your last ride before you go home, and unexpectedly they offer you a re-ride? It’s a good customer experience and gives you a good last impression.
Unfortunately though, this has turned into the Hyperia plaza full of enthusiasts arguing to get the last train which is a nightmare for staff when they try to close the queueline.
From what I understand, they do this on most rides every day, however have stopped doing it as much on Hyperia for the reasons above. They gave us 2 laps on Tuesday so it definitely does still happen, but they’re understandably less likely to do it if people are causing problems for staff.
In short: It still happens, but it’s down to staff discretion. Being entitled and begging for it only makes it less likely.
