Isn't there now a luggage trolley on its way through to the
platform?


Yes, which is now badly dented - either through vandalism or
something else hitting it.


Not sure what that website was going on about, suggesting the
platform 9 3/4 could have been there before the book!!


Don't be silly!

Quite - it's always been there! The trolley is damaged because the
person pushing it was a Muggle porter and hence could not enter, so it
crashed against the wall - however there was a young wizard sat atop
their case on the front of the trolley, and so that end of the trolley
did pass through the entrance. The prefects found this situation of
the trolley stuck in the entrance somewhat whimsical and so it has
stayed as it is, confounding the likes of Mr Morris and leading them
to dream up outlandish, pedestrian explanations for its presence...
