Surely the NR platforms are all terminus platforms, in which case even
with the layout you propose, 50% of the time they would be opposite
direction cross platform interchanges, which aren't any improvement on
what we have today.

You are correct, terminating trains would only be same direction half
of the time. However, I believe that is an improvement on the no
cross platform interchange that we have today.
