No idea what a 313 unit is,


The 3-car trains used on the WAGN inner suburban service.

but I was talking about more trains stopping
rather than longer ones.


Ah, but the extra trains you were talking about stopping are sometimes
8 cars in length (and maybe 12?), so they might not fit in a platform
if it's only designed for 6-car trains (like the surburban platforms
at Kings Cross).

The platforms are quite long though, the 6 carriage trains fit in thre
with plenty of room to spare


In which case it wouldn't be a problem.
