How easy would it be to convert the bay, at Gospel Oak, into a
thru platform? When electrification is complete a thru service
could be 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.

What GOBLIN frequency is planned post-electrification (currently 4 an
hour)?

No change at present (although the longer trains will mean a
significant capacity increase).
