On commuter trains the solution is more standing space, like it appears the 700s will have, and on intercity trains the solution is to try and manage capacity so that long-distance standing is not a regular occurrence.
And to provide enough capacity, e.g. not doing stupid things like building 4/5 car Voyagers which any rational person could see were not going to work. They should have been 7-8 car, and if that made them too expensive a cheaper DMU like a Turbostar should have been selected instead.
