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

Is the extension to the north bound platform to allow the starter
signal at the other end of the platform to be set back further from
the junction which is immediately beyond the station?
