How easy would it be to convert the bay, at Gospel Oak, into a thru

useful.

There's physically space to convert it to a *through* platform. The
pointwork to the west may need altering to allow east bound trains to
access the platform.

Just the one through platform for both directions? (Yes, I know Ware
Station is like that.)

Are there paths for the full Goblin service to extend westward? Is there
need for that many trains westward? Although it would be "neat" if the
full Goblin service went to Clapham Junction and the full Stratford
service went to Richmond.

One minor point, but the new GOBLIN trains will be four-car Aventras,
rather than the five-car 378s used on the NLL. Wasting a scarce NLL path on
a four-car unit wouldn't go down well.
