what was the reasoning behind turning a 2 platform station into a 1
platform station? Were turnaround times and platform congestion so bad
previously that sacrificing a platform was the best option?


The problem was insufficient room to extend both of the platforms to 3
car length (which was the primary reason for the rebuild). To make two
3 car platforms would have required widening the viaduct, which would
have been considerably more costly.
