Have a look at YouTube ebrauns789 where an analysis is presented of Einstein's thought experiment and where it is shown that the observer in the train compartment is NOT in position M when encountering the light flashes. That observer will be in positions C and D to the right of M and moreover at different time instances ! So, that observer is able to calculate the same time instants of the light flashes departing in A and B and prove that there is no relativity of simultaneity problem at all !
