The problems on platform 2 are because the staircases up and down are
narrow, and there's some pointless buildings eating valuable platform
space.

If nothing is done, I imagine the problems will become much worse when
the ELL starts using platform 2 next year.


I don't think it would be that bad actually, provided you don't get WLL
and ELL trains arriving at the same time - will the track layout even
allow that?

Another route down from the platform would be nice, and it could perhaps
be done with minimal disruption to the rest of the station if it just
drops down over the side of the viaduct.
