Why are the up/east platforms a lot longer than the down/west? Also
did there use to be a 4track system down there?

Which do you mean, Kew Gardens or Gunnersbury?

Anyway Gunnersbury had 4 or 5 platforms in the 19th century and has
been shrinking in stages ever since. It is now one island platform
which makes it difficult for one face to be longer than the other.

Not really, what about the island at Stratford with the DLR platform? Also
Greenwich for a different example.
