And it
should be interesting to see how they intend to add another
platform, given that the station is built on an embankment... I
make that what would presumably be platform 6 is built over the
station booking hall and the main road!

Not so. If you look on Google Earth, you'll see that the existing
platform 5 extends 200m to the west of the present station canopy,
ending about 40m east of the point where the second crossover meets the
new loop line. Strengthening the embankment enough for a platform that
only extends to the canopy should be easy enough.
