I doubt traffic flows or anything else transport related comes into it.

More likely a council that does not want to deter developers from

vastly more than the old Grahame Park development 50 years ago yet
nothing has been done to improve the station or any other transport modes.

Wasn't the ticket hall completely rebuilt a few years ago?
