Surely better to close the suburban platforms altogether at weekends,
and give people a shorter walk.

But it will be a shorter walk when the new concourse opens, it'll be closer
than going over bridges and down escalators onto the main-line platforms!

Depends where you are starting from. Surely most of the passengers
arrive either by road at the front of the station, or by tube (which is
also at the front of the station). The only direction that the suburban
platforms are closer is St Pancras.
