Default Row over platform width delays Sandhills station reopening.

How wide is a platform supposed to be? Well, how long is a piece of
string...

"Platforms to be not less than 6 feet wide"
(from the requirements of the Inspecting Officers of Railways, 29 April
1858)

The standard may have change during the past 150 years.
