Default Why can't the Picc terminate southbound at Wood Green?

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 Ally Pally platforms are between 167m and 170m (the same length as
Biggleswade) and so can hold 2x365 (i.e. 8 cars).

The suburban platforms at KX are between 163m and 166m and hold 2x365
quite happily.
