The Lea Bridge station is a reopening, using the existing platforms. A
better comparison might be the all-new station at Southend Airport, which
cost £16m in 2011.

East Midlands Airport station cost £25m and Cambridge Northstowe Parkway
(officially called "Science Park") is going to cost £26m.

Common features are that each have one platform plus one island, large
car parks and new access roads, and are built on out-of-town brown field
sites. The costs are therefore consistent with Southend Airport.

Presumably they needed new track work to accommodate three platform faces?
That would certainly push the costs up, compared to new stations that just
have facing platforms on to existing tracks.
