The recent City Passenger train set (60337) (The green train on my post above) also comes with a wheelchair person! The train includes one protruding stud specifically to lock the wheelchair so that it won't roll during its high-speed run.

Also, while the platform on set 60337 was hugely distanced from the train due to the train's large protruding nose on curve rails and the outward opening doors, the one in the Downtown Streetcar set has a extendable platform instead so you can properly roll the wheelchair onto the train!

By the way, because we are reviving this post, I hereby showing you all another brick train I have. 

This one is from a Chinese brand (but fairly reputable) called Mould King. Set number is 12002, contain 1808 pieces, and it's a model of Chinese CRH2B high speed train (due to additional headlights on the nose).

The model consists of a front car and an intermediate car; motor and lights are included, although does not look like a typical Lego branded one. The cars are 8-stud wide (2-stud wider that Lego City), and a bit longer too so that it doesn't look weird.

There are two fun things about this set. First, as you might have seen, the pantograph is simply impressive, and movable.

And second, if you know the CRH2B train, or its more familiar sister, Shinkansen E2, you would know that the trains can couple in real life. Here, they also include a magnet coupler which you can pull out after altering the nose a bit! (Yellow shunter is custom made, not part of the set) Of course, it's meant to couple front nose together, so the height is mismatched.

Lastly, the height comparison between the three brick trains I have.
