But it's possible. I've reposted a pic on a.b.p.r, entitled
LUL-L66atGunnersbury10-2-88TW, which shows the difference.

Thankyou. I see what was meant!

In "Railways Then and Now" by Edwin Course (1979) there are 'before

station. The reason for the apparent extension of the NB platform
face does not emerge though.
