Objects coming out of the portal in "a" have to have velocity coming out (they don't magically appear outside of the portal, they move out inch by inch/ cm by cm). So in a you would actually have double the deceleration on the train because it has to accelerate people leaving the portal and then instantly decelerate them once they have fully exited the portal.
