Default How many people could this station turn around...?

....and how was it done? The "spur" sidings between the platforms
(points either end) seem important:

I was expecting an angry reaction to the following but in the absence of
any anger I admit it is rather a good point. In the 1900's there were no
houses only the college for miles around Epsom Downs Station. Does the
1 platform station nowadays handle more annually than the 9 platform
station? What is a Derby crowd - 300,000?

How does a reduction in platforms correlate to declining passenger numbers?


Is this a serious question or are you being funny?
