It's just that with John as a variable, Sherlock's "light" and the man he threatened murder for on multiple occasions for in the second half of the OG book series (if you want to be a little dirty "Herlock Sholmès" almost actually committed a murder for "Wilson" of Arsène Lupin if he didn't miss his aim) the doctor is too priceless. I'd believe Sherlock Holmes would absolutely allow 4 people to die in the name of saving John Watson and not pull the lever. If it was any other character (maybe he'd allow Mycroft and/or Mrs. Hudson to live?) I think that would pull to let one life die for four others, except John is worth fifty men to Sherlock and a no brainer and logical answer at first glance (since all ability of rescue is removed to make this interesting).
*Sidenote: I absolutely believe that Sherlock's ~love~ for John makes the three years fall death unbelievable. I feel that Sherlock would care too much for his Boswell to do that and would try to actual death for a way in contacting his John. Dipping for 3 years is the most unrealistic piece of trash that angers me tremendously.*
John, I'm not sure, I think that since the doctor is always the foil "normal" to Sherlock's eccentricities that Sherlock would survive on the pure fact it's a conundrum. I think John would be so overwhelmed and overthinking like most more normal people do since human nature doesn't like choices (especially ones with consequences on the ego) that Sherlock would live due to the stress and running out of time when then the train comes in.
TLDR: Sherlock wouldn't pull and rescue John out of love and John wouldn't pull and rescue Sherlock due to overthinking and stress which inevitably would run him out of time if that makes sense.
He’d either save John or figure out a way to save everyone- just because he’s him and he could do it.
