Has anybody noticed that Malden Manor & Tolworth Stations are both
being lengthened?

I dont know if the same is happening at Chessington (N & S) but it
could be interesting when they try to do Motspur Park.

I am still waiting to see how they extend Feltham station. They seem
to have extended all the other station platforms from Waterloo, but
stopped at Feltham.

You mean the fast line stations.

Isleworth is still only 4 cars long.

The platforms at Isleworth are 165m long, which ought to be long enough
for 8 cars of 20m. So I'm not sure why an 8-car Class 455 can't fit.

Platform lengthening would be expensive, as it would have to be done
over one of the two road bridges that are adjacent to each end of the
current platforms.
