Well, my explanation was for a freight train only , and ideally, cannot be extended to passenger rakes just like that. The main advantage with python rakes is that in most cases there is absolutely no need for any shunting operations. The front portion detaches and goes on it's wy while the rear portion continues on it's route. This can be even done with just a single long loop line, without blocking the mainline.
Passenger rakes will need much more, as they will not be run with a loco sitting idle in the middle. So they have to be shunted, and this will require a larger yard. I can think of the following problems with your proposal....
