Default North London Line goes 4-car in early 2011

I agree. A quick measurement on Google Earth of the westbound/down
platform, which is on the inside of the curve and therefore with less
room for extension, shows the current platform as about 72 m long, but
with room for expansion to at least 200 m before the gap between the
tracks gets too narrow for an island platform.

If you view the station on MS Live Local or Flashearth you will find
each platform conveniently occupied by a 313. You'll also see that
things don't appear to be quite as bad as has been suggested.
