Ware is likely to present them with a problem there. The station is
hemmed in by a road bridge at one end [Viaduct Road] and a level
crossing at the other [Amwell End]. The current platform can only just
accommodate 8 car trains [2x4-car emus] and the scope for extension
simply doesn't exist.


Doesn't seem to bad to me. You have two options: 1) You close the
level crossing, as you have a perfectly good road bridge about 8
carriage lengths to the east ...or 2) you lengthen the bridge so
you can put platforms under it, exactly as was done at Dalston
Kingsland for the LO 4-car project.
