The train paradox used to demonstrate relativity of simulatneity says that ( I will assume most people are familiar with it and therefore be brief) the observer on the train moves into the light from the front of the train and away from the light coming from the back of the train, therefore seeing the lightning strike at the front first. But if the speed of light is measured at C in all reference frames, then surely the observer would measure the speed of light aproaching him/her from the back of the train as C, and the fornt also. Since they are in the middle of the train, does this not mean that the light form each should reach him/her at the same time?
