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.

Does Southend Airport station have a bay platform? I thought it was just
platforms constructed alongside existing tracks, with no track alterations
required?
