I used the southbound platform this morning. It looks to be 6 to 7
metres wide along most of the length.

How much of that would need to be stolen, to add a track, if it was
converted to an island?

Standard loading gauge width, which IIRC is 2.95 metres.


Which leaves a 3 to 4 metre platform which would be adequate I should
think. According to How The Underground Works (LT 1968) Ministry of
Transport limits were 6 ft (1.82m) for a single platform and 12 ft (3.66m)
for an island platform. Tube station platforms are normally 10'6". (3.2)
